1 Roses of June-time
Fragrant and fair,
Rising from darkness
Gladness to bear.
Once more we welcome
Your crimson bloom,
Scattering shadows
Of nature’s gloom.

Refrain:
Roses, roses so fair,
Roses, fragrant and rare,
Roses, brightness ye bring,
Whispering now of Jesus the King.

2 Beautiful roses,
To you is giv’n;
Message of gladness
Sent us from heave’n.
Unto us ever
Sweet tho’ts ye bring,
Of One more lowly—
Jesus our King. [Refrain]

3 Sweet summer blossoms
Wondrously fair,
Your silence whispers
Of heaven’s care.
In your soft petals
Ever we read,
Lessons of beauty
Sent for our need. [Refrain]
