Words cannot describe its beauty as upon the stem it grows
               G+G      C majorC
Matchless in its glory, the tender little rose
FF                 Bb majorBb        FF
When its petals are broken, its greatest beauty it shows
          DmDm   C majorC       FF
For sweeter the fragrance of the broken Rose

Nailed to a tree on a hill far away
FF             Bb majorBb  A minorAm G minorGm  FF
Forsaken by His friends, bruised by His foes

How sweet is the fragrance of heaven's sweet Rose

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
