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
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
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

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
The shepherds heard the story proclaimed by angels bright
How Christ the Lord of glory was born on earth this night
To Bethlehem they sped and in the manger found Him
As angel heralds said
4
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
5
O Savior child of Mary who felt our human woe
O Savior King of glory who dost our weakness know
Bring us at length we pray to the bright courts of Heaven
And to the endless day
