Lo, How a Rose ft. Jenny Youngman Lyrics

Lo, how a rose e'er blooming

From tender stem hath sprung

From Jesse's lineage coming

As men of old have sung

It came, a flower bright

Amid the cold of winter

When half spent was the night

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 aright

She bore to us a Savior

When half spent was the night

When half spent was the night

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 they found him

As angels heralds said

As angels heralds said

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

And lightens every load

O sweetest Flower, I love Thee

A light pure and divine

In beauty shine above me

Bring thou my heart to life

All darkness drive away

Save me from sin and sorrow

All darkness drive away

Save me from sin and my sorrow

Let me be blest always

Let me be blest always
