Hymn/Song Information

I AM THE ROSE OF SHARON




See, from the vineyard Jesus comes,
Bringing his spice and rich perfumes;
When shades of night my eyelids close,
Sweet is the smell of Sharon's Rose.


His beauty's white with lovely grace,
When through the garden him I trace;
'Tis by the sweet perfumes which flow
That I the Rose of Sharon know.


If him I trace to Calvary,
And see him hang and bleed and die,
I view the wound that opened wide,
The Rose of Sharon's pierced side.


Of matchless love my soul can tell;
He hath redeemed my soul from hell;
His wounds poured out a double flood....
The Rose of Sharon's red with blood.


When I am numbered with the dead,
And my remains in dust are laid;
My grave has no malignant air;
The Rose of Sharon, rested there.
