Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming

from the album 'Dream A Dream'

Chorus Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung! Of Jesse's lineage coming As teen of old have sung. It came, a floweret 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 alright, 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'rywhere;

True man, yet very God, From sin and death now save us, And share our ev'ry load.
