Plant Roses

Author: Edith Sanford Tillotson Hymnal: The Kingdom of Praise #50 (1920) First Line: Many a barren and cheerless spot Refrain First Line: Plant roses, sweet roses Lyrics: 1 Many a barren and cheerless spot, Needs but our friendly care; Turning it into a garden plot, Fragrant with roses fair. Refrain: Plant roses, sweet roses, Light into darkness bring; Make the world bloom like a garden, Fair in the eyes of our King. Plant roses, sweet roses, Beauty and joy instill, Till ev’ry known place, shall glow with His grace, This is our Father’s will. 2 Many a life that is cheerless, too, Under our touch will grow Into that beauty so great, so new, God can alone bestow. [Refrain] 3 Seek out the places that need the flow’rs, Plant them with loving care; God will repay us for all the hours Spent in His service there. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Many a barren and cheerless spot]
