Melodies of Love ‎#75

75. Shall Bloom As A Rose

1 Draw closer to Jesus,--Love, trust and obey,
Your spirit will need Him From day unto day;
Make sure of His mercy, Be faithful and true,
Use well ev'ry talent Entrusted to You.

Refrain:
When shadows of ev'nign Bring life to its close,
your spirit in glory, Shall bloom as a rose.

2 When heavy your burden,--Seek often in pray'r,
Your loving Redeemer,--He knows all your care;
When troubled--in anguish, When tempted and tried,
Remember your Saviour His love will abide. [Refrain]

3 Draw closer to Jesus,--Let love rule your heart,
Live, live for His glory Wherever thou art;
When shadows of ev'nign Bring life to its close,
Your spirit in glory Shall bloom as a rose. [Refrain]
