Hymn 96: THOU the Rose of Sharon,

Verse 1

THOU the Rose of Sharon,

Let Thy praises roll,

Lily of the valley,

Flower of my soul;

Chiefest of ten thousand,

Round my heart entwine;

I am my Beloved’s

My Belov’d is mine

Thou the Rose of sharon,

Let Thy praises roll

Lilly of the valley,

Flower of my soul

Verse 2 

Lead me by still waters,

Hold me by the hand;

And upon the mountains

Give me grace to stand;

Wind and storm and fire

Raging, but my choice 

Ever is to listen

For Thy still, small voice.

Verse 3

Jesus, Lord and Master, 

Glorious Nazarene;

Close behind Thy reapers 

I would humbly glean;

But Thy grace hath brought me

To Thy house above,

And Thy banner o’er me,

Ever is Love.

Verse 4

Water cannot quench it,

Floods can never drown;

Substance cannot buy it.

Love’s priceless crown;

Oh , the wondrous story,

Mystery divine;

I am my Beloved’s

My Belov’d is mine
