Rose Of Bethlehem

Verse 1

There's a rose in bethlehem

With a beauty quite divine

Perfect in this world of sin

On this silent holy night

There's a fragrance much like hope

That it sends upon the wind

Reaching out to ev'ry soul

From a lowly manger's crib

Verse 2

There's a rose in bethlehem

Colored red like mercy's blood

'Tis the flower of our faith

'Tis the blossom of God's love

Though its bloom is fresh with youth

Surely what will be He knows

For a tear of morning dew

Is rolling down the rose
