Lo, how a rose e'er blooming
From tender stem has 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 had in mind;
With Mary we behold it,
The Virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright
She bore to men a Saviour,
When half spent was the night.
