Anthem Lyrics
“The Rose of Calvary”
Performed by The Haviland Choir
I love the Rose of Calvary: God’s gift of hope, God’s gift of grace. In love He clings to sorrow’s tree, and softly weeps at its embrace. Calvary’s Rose, Calvary’s Rose, in His life God’s mercy flows.
By his death our garden grows; O the love of Calvary’s Rose. Come rest beneath the rugged tree, for in its shadow grows a flower: the blessed Rose of Calvary.
