Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming

Lo, how a rose e'er blooming from tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming, as those of old have sung
It came, a blossom 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 us 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
It came, a blossom bright, amid the cold of winter
When half spent was the night
