Now Found Is The Fairest Of Roses
Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 9.9.9.9 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Now found is the fairest of roses,
'Mongst briars it sweetly reposes;
My Jesus so precious and holy
Abode among sinners so lowly.
2 Since man his Creator deserted
And wholly His image perverted,
The world like a desert was lying
And all in transgression were dying.
3 But God, as His promise had granted,
A Rose in the desert has planted,
Which now is with sweetness endowing
The race that in evil was growing.
4 All men should with gladness forever
Give praises to God for His favor,
But many have ne’er comprehended:
The Rose to the world has descended.
5 Ye sinners, perverse and proud-minded,
Whose souls in transgressions are blinded,
Why are ye so prideful in spirit
And trust in your self-righteous merit.
6 Oh, seek ye the places most lowly
And weep before Jesus the Holy,
Then gain ye His sweetness for malice,
For roses grow fairest in valleys.
7 My Jesus, Thou ever remainest
My glory and crown, who sustainest
My heart in the fulness of pleasure;
Thy sweetness alone I will treasure.
8 The world may of all things bereave me,
Its thorns may annoy and aggrieve me,
The foe may afflictions engender,
My Rose I will never surrender.

Now Found Is The Fairest Of Roses
Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow
Author: A.C. Prudentius; P. Hegelund Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow,
But hope from God's promises borrow;
Beware, in thy sorrow, of sinning,
For death is of life the beginning.
2 The body is shrouded in mourning;
The garlands, the casket adorning,
Are emblems of hope that betoken,
O death, that thy power is broken.
3 A dearly beloved one hath left us;
God hath in His wisdom bereft us;
But He will not leave us forsaken,--
We know that the dead shall awaken.
4 When dawneth the glorious morrow,
This body, that we view with sorrow,
A glorified form shall be given,
Restored to its spirit in heaven.
5 The seed that in springtime is planted,
Is hid in the ground; but, if granted
A measure of sunshine and showers,
Will spring into fruitage and flowers.
6 A gift to the churchyard we tender,
As dust to the dust we surrender;
Returning the clay to its Maker,
We lay it to rest in God's acre.
7 A soul in that body abided,
A soul that in Jesus confided,
A soul that hath longed for salvation,
And now hath found hope's consumation.
8 O earth, we consign to thy keeping
This body with sorrow and weeping;
In peace to await resurrection,
When it shall arise in perfection.
9 O Christ, our souls' Maker and Lover;
When time and earth's travail are over,
Thou closest the grave's mournful story
And callest Thine own to Thy glory. Topics: The Last Things Burial and Resurrection; The Last Things Burial and Ressurection; Resurrection Used With Tune: [Despair not, O heart]
Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow
