1. Words cannot describe its beauty as upon the stem it grows

Matchless in its glory, the tender little rose

When its petals are broken, its greatest beauty it shows

For sweeter the fragrance of the broken Rose

CHORUS:

The most beautiful Rose was broken one day

Nailed to a tree on a hill far away

Forsaken by His friends, bruised by His foes

How sweet is the fragrance of heaven's sweet Rose

2. Then they laid that broken Rose in a borrowed tomb

But on the third day, that Rose again did bloom

Now to the heights of heaven, down to the deepest hell

The fragrance of heaven's Rose continually dwells

CHORUS:

The most beautiful Rose was broken one day

Nailed to a tree on a hill far away

Forsaken by His friends, bruised by His foes

How sweet is the fragrance of heaven's sweet Rose

Forsaken by His friends, bruised by His foes.....

How sweet is the fragrance of heaven's sweet Rose
