Behold The Rose Of Sharon Here,
The Lily Which The Valleys Bear,
Behold The Tree Of Life, That Gives
Refreshing Fruit And Healing Leaves.
Amongst The Thorns So Lilies Shine;
Amongst Wild Gourds The Noble Vine;
So In Mine Eyes My Savior Proves,
Amidst A Thousand Meaner Loves.
Beneath His Cooling Shade I Sat,
To Shield Me From The Burning Heat;
Of Heavenly Fruit He Spreads A Feast,
To Feed Mine Eyes And Please My Taste.
Kindly He Brought Me To The Place
Where Stands The Banquet Of His Grace;
He Saw Me Faint, And O’er My Head
The Banner Of His Love He Spread.
With Living Bread And Generous Wine,
He Cheers This Sinking Heart Of Mine;
And Opening His Own Heart To Me,
He Shows His Thoughts, How Kind They Be.
O Never Let My Lord Depart;
Lie Down, And Rest Upon My Heart;
I Charge My Sins Not Once To Move,
Nor Stir, Nor Wake, Nor Grieve My Love.
