Hiya Cookie! Welcome to the site!
Glad to have you here, logged in or not!
Here are the lyrics to this touching hymn (I love "Sweet Beulah Land" too):
1.
Words cannot describe its beauty
as upon the stem it grows,
Matchless in its glory,
the tender little rose.
But when its petals are broken,
its greatest beauty it shows,
For more 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.
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:
There's a good recording of a lot of Squire Parson songs at Amazon
God bless!
