Hymns - Rose of the Cross - Текст песни

Rose of the cross, thou mystic flower
I lift my heart to thee:
In ev'ry melancholy hour;
O, Mary! remember me!
In ev'ry melancholy hour, O, Mary!
O, Mary! remember me.

A wand'rer here, thro' many_a wild,
Where few their way can see
Bloom with thy fragrance on thy child;
O, Mary! remember me!
Bloom with thy fragrance on thy child; O, Mary!
O, Mary! remember me.

Let me but stand where thou hast stood,
Beside the crimson tree;
And by the water and the blood;
O, Mary! remember me!
And by the water and the blood, O, Mary!
O, Mary! remember me.

There let me wash my sinful soul,
And be from sin set free;
Drawn by thy love, by grace made whole;
O, Mary! remember me!
Drawn by thy love, by grace made whole; O, Mary!
O, Mary! remember me.

Be thy blest son my all in all,
To whom for life I flee;
And when before His feet I fall
O, Mary! remember me!
And when before His feet I fall; O, Mary!
O, Mary! remember me.
