Lyrics for Lo How A Rose E’er Blooming

Lo! How a Rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung Of Jesse's lineage coming, As those of old have sung. It came a flower bright Amid the cold of winter When half-spent was the night. Isaiah 'twas foretold it, The Rose I have in mind; And so then we behold it, The Virgin Mother kind. To show God's love aright She bore to us a Savior When half-spent was the night.
