Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming.
The Lyrics.
Lo, how a rose e’er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung
Of Jesse’s lineage coming
As men of old have sung
It came a flow’ret bright
Amid the cold of winter
When half-spent was the night
Isaiah ’twas foretold it,
The rose I have in mind
With Mary we behold it,
The virgin mother kind
To show God’s love aright
She bore to men a savior
When half-spent was the night
This flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness everywhere
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death he saves us
And lightens every load
