Lo How A Rose E`re Blooming Lyrics

Lo How A Rose E`re Blooming 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 light.



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 saviour,

When half
spent was the night.



O flow'r, whose fragrance tender



With sweetness fills the air,

Dispel in glorious splendour

The
darkness ev'ry where.



True man, yet very god,



From
sin and death now save us,

And share our ev're load.
