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 |
