Flower most cherished
sweetest that grows . . .
is JESUS The Saviour
Sharon's Precious Rose ~

So fragrant the ointment
from His nail~scarred hands . . .
bathing the broken
how HE understands ~

Flower most sacred
the Valley's own bloom . . .
Lily that shatters
all darkness and gloom ~

Jesus The Saviour
drank life's bitterest cup . . .
said "Father, forgive them"
as sin used Him up ~

LOVE held Him there
'twas not wood & nails . . .
perpetual forgiveness
His mercy never fails ~

Grace spoke the pardon
not counting the loss . . .
"IT IS FINISHED", He cried
from that old rugged Cross ~

Stone rolled away
now empty the grave . . .
Hallelujah ~ HE IS RISEN
triumphant to save ~

Oh ~ Sacred The Blood
that from Heaven still flows . . .
Holy crimson stream
from Sharon's Precious Rose !
