THE ROSE OF SHARO . ' I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys." SO G OF SOL. ii. i.
WHE the rose in Sharon blooming Sheds sweet fragrance on the air, = Each loved tint new grace assuming, Doth its varied charms declare. When the lily 'neath the mountain Weeps in Hermon's glittering dew ; Pure as Kedron's crystal fountain Shines its robe of spangled hue.
Fair are Sharon's blooming roses, Rich the lily of the vale; 'Mid each blush delight reposes, ectared sweets embalm the gale. But when Jesus, Lord of heaven, He whom saints with love adore, Kindly says to man, forgiven, " Go, thou contrite, sin no more," Radiant beauty He discloses, While He saves from sorrow's doom ; Sweeter than the blush of roses, Fairer than the lily's bloom.
