Near shady wall a rose
once grew
Budded and blossomed in God's free light
Watered and feed by morning dew
Shedding it's sweetness day and night
Budded and blossomed in God's free light
Watered and feed by morning dew
Shedding it's sweetness day and night
As it grew and
blossomed
Slowly rising to loftier height
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shown a beam of light
Slowly rising to loftier height
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shown a beam of light
Onward it crept with
added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride
It followed the light thru crevice length
And unfolded itself on the other side
With never a thought of fear or pride
It followed the light thru crevice length
And unfolded itself on the other side
The light the dew, the
broadening view
Were found the same as they were before
And it lost itself in beauties new
Breathing it's fagrance more and more.
Were found the same as they were before
And it lost itself in beauties new
Breathing it's fagrance more and more.
Shall claim of death
cause us to grieve
and make our courage faint or fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope recieve:
The rose still grows beyond the wall
and make our courage faint or fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope recieve:
The rose still grows beyond the wall
