Lo! How a Rose e're blooming from tender stem hath sprung
Of Jesse's lineage coming as men of old have sung.
It came a flow'ert bright
Amid the cold of winter when half spent was the night.
Isaiah 'twas foretold it: The Rose I have 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
O flower whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air
Dispel with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere
True man yet very God
From sin and death save us and share every load.
