Tune:[Are you fond of pretty flowers]
Composer:Ira B. Wilson

192. Rosebuds

1 Are you fond of pretty flowers?
Do you like their fragrance sweet,
When it comes from fields and bowers,
As the day and twilight meet?

Refrain:
We are rosebuds, pretty rosebuds,
Growing for him above;
We are rosebuds, pretty rosebuds,
In the garden of his love.

2 We are growing for the glory
Of the One who crowns our days;
And, as those who love his story,
We delight to sing his praise. [Refrain]

3 He will watch us and in beauty
Let us grow from day to day,
All along the path of duty,
All along his love-lit way. [Refrain]
