Rose of Sharon

Jesus, Rose of Sharon

Ida A. Guirey - 1922

 

Jesus, Rose of Sharon, bloom within my heart;

Beauties of Thy truth and holiness impart,

That where’er I go my life may shed abroad

Fragrance of the knowledge of the love of God.

Refrain:

• Jesus, Rose of Sharon,
  Bloom in radiance and in love within my heart.

Jesus, Rose of Sharon, sweeter far to see

Than the fairest flowers of earth could ever be,

Fill my life completely, adding more each day

Of Thy grace divine, and purity I pray.

Refrain:

• Jesus, Rose of Sharon,
  Bloom in radiance and in love within my heart.

Jesus, Rose of Sharon, balm for every ill,
May Thy tender mercy’s healing pow’r distil
For afflicted souls of weary burdened men,
Giving needy mortals health and hope again.

Refrain:

• Jesus, Rose of Sharon,
  Bloom in radiance and in love within my heart.

Jesus, Rose of Sharon, bloom forevermore;
Be Thy glory seen on earth from shore to shore,
Till the nations own Thy sov’reignty complete,
Lay their honors down and worship at Thy feet.

Refrain:

• Jesus, Rose of Sharon,
  Bloom in radiance and in love within my heart.

Have a blessed week!
