Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

Es ist ein Ros entsprungen

SacredOrigin: GermanyFirst published 1599
1
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 floweret bright, Amid the cold of winter When half-spent was the night.
2
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-spent was the night.
3
This Flower, whose fragrance tender With sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor The darkness everywhere. True man, yet very God, From sin and death He saves us And lightens every load.
