Rose of Bethlehem Lyrics

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 sweet as hope
and it flows upon the wind
Reaching out to every soul
From a lowly manger crib

Oh, Rose of Bethlehem
How lovely, pure and sweet
Born to glorify the Father
Born to wear the thorns for me
There's a Rose in Bethlehem
colored red as 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
falls gently down the Rose
Oh, Rose of Bethlehem
How lovely, pure and sweet
Born to glorify the Father
Born to wear the thorns for me

There's a Rose in Bethlehem
With a beauty quite divine
Perfect in this world of sin
On this silent, holy night
