| I went to gather roses and twine them in a ring | B |
| For I would make a posy a posy for the King | B |
| I got an hundred roses the loveliest there be | C |
| From the white rose vine and the pink rose bush and from the red rose tree | C |
| - | |
| But when I took my posy and laid it at His feet | D |
| I found He had His roses a million times more sweet | D |
| There was a scarlet blossom upon each foot and hand | E |
| And a great pink rose bloomed from His side for the healing of the land | E |

| Now of this fair and awful King there is this marvel told | F |
| That He wears a crown of linked thorns instead of one of gold | F |
| Where there are thorns are roses and I saw a line of red | G |
| A little wreath of roses around His radiant head | G |
| - | |
| A red rose is His Sacred Heart a white rose is His face | H |
| And His breath has turned the barren world to a rich and flowery place | H |
| He is the Rose of Sharon His gardener am I | I |
| And I shall drink His fragrance in Heaven when I die | I |
