When entered there our darling dove, Celestial choirs with raptures flame As she adored the "Lamb once slain." Her heavenly gain to earth is loss. Dear Savior, purify this dress; Go with us though the swelling tide, And through this furnace walk beside. Seven times its wont our burnings glow, Seven times affliction's pangs we know. God of compassion! to us flee, And succor us, the stricken three. | ||||

From Sharon's tree was lent, To be our joy, our tender care, The lonely bud was sent. We thought it ours with ardent love We claimed it as our own, A gift, a boon, from Him above, His choicest, blessing shown. Our bud is gone, whose rosy light Illumed our happy home; We felt it drroop, we wept its flight, The Rose of Sharon's own.
