Verse 1
What is sweeter, tell me, Than a pretty rose? Fragrant in its beauty, Loveliest flow’r that grows.
Chorus
Rose, rose, rose, Prettiest flow’r that grows, Emblem of love that came from Heaven, Thro' which a Savior, Christ, was given; Rose, rose, rose, Not till the whole world knows Of my dear Savior King, Will I cease to sing, Sweet rose, rose, rose.
Verse 2
If a rose could whisper, Could it, think you, tell Of that blessed country Where the angels dwell?
Chorus
Rose, rose, rose, Prettiest flow’r that grows, Emblem of love that came from Heaven, Thro' which a Savior, Christ, was given; Rose, rose, rose, Not till the whole world knows Of my dear Savior King, Will I cease to sing, Sweet rose, rose, rose.
Verse 3
Jesus, keep me ever Like unto this flow’r— Pure and sweet and modest, Every day and hour.
Chorus
Rose, rose, rose, Prettiest flow’r that grows, Emblem of love that came from Heaven, Thro' which a Savior, Christ, was given; Rose, rose, rose, Not till the whole world knows Of my dear Savior King, Will I cease to sing, Sweet rose, rose, rose.
