Lo How A Rose Ere 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.
