Christ in a garden of roses - br Where beauty meets beauty br And Love meets the symbol of love; br br Christ in a garden of roses - br Where the bearer of thorns br Meets the Wearer of Thorns who shed blood; br br Christ in a garden of roses - br Where the perfume of spring br And the perfume of holiness mingle; br br Christ in a garden of roses - br Where Creator, creation, br Life and its Giver are one.
