Lo, How a Rose E're Blooming Hymns of Grace

1 verse:
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 flower bright,
Amid the cold of winter
When half gone was the night.

2 verse:
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 gone was the night.

3 verse:
This Flower, whose fragrance tender 
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness ev'rywhere.
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death He saves us
And lightens ev'ry load.
