Lo How A Rose E'Er Blooming Songtext
von Andrew Greer

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 flow′ret bright
Amid the cold of winter
When half-spent was the night


Isaiah 'twas foretold it
The rose I have in mind
With Mary we beheld it
The virgin mother kind
To show God's love aright
She bore to men a savior
When half-spent was the night

Oh, savior, child of Mary
Who felt our human woe
Oh, 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
