Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming Songtext
von Fernando Ortega

Lo, how a rose e′er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As seers of old have sung
It came, a floweret 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 behold it
The virgin mother kind
To show God's love aright
She bore to us a Savior
When half-spent was the night

This flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air
Dispels in glorious splendor
The darkness everywhere
True man, yet very God
From sin and death he saves us
And bears our every load
