The Broken Rose Lyrics

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 RoseCHORUS:
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 Rose2. 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 dwellsCHORUS:
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
