Lo! How a Rose E’er Blooming Songtext
von Sufjan Stevens

Lo! How a Rose e′er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung
Of Jesse's lineage coming,
As those of old have sung.


It came a flower bright
Amid the cold of winter
When half-spent was the night.

Isaiah ′twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind;
And so then 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.
