[Verse 1]
FWords cannot describe its beautBby as upon the stem it Fgrows
Matchless in its glory, the teGnder little rCose
FWhen its petals are broken, its greBbatest beauty it shFows
For sweeter the fraDmgrance oCf the broken RFose
[Chorus]
FThe most beautiful Rose was brBboken oAmne dGmay
FNailed to a tree on a hiG7ll far aCway
FForsaken by His friends, brBbuised Amby GmHis fFoes
How sweet is the fraDmgrance of heCaven's sweet RFose
[Verse 2]
Then tFhey laid that broken Rose in Bba borrowed tombF  
But on the third dDmay, that RGose again did blCoom
FNow to the heights of heaven, down Bbto the deepest hFell
The fragrance of heaven's RoDmse contCinually dFwells
[Chorus]
FThe most beautiful Rose was brBboken oAmne dGmay
FNailed to a tree on a hiG7ll far aCway
FForsaken by His friends, brBbuised Amby GmHis fFoes
How sweet is the fraDmgrance of heCaven's sweet RFose
FForsaken by His friends, brBbuised Amby GmHis fFoes
How sweet is the fraDmgrance of heCaven's sweet RFose
