"Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming"

1.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 halfspent was the night.


2. Isaiah 'twas foretold it, the Rose I bear in mind,
With Mary we behold it,
The virgin mother kind;
To show God's love aright,
She bore to men a Savior,
When halfspent was the night.


3. O Flower, whose fragrance tender, with sweetness fills the air,
Dispel with glorious splendour
The darkness everywhere;
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death He saves us,
And lightens every load.

Beautiful!!!!
