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
The shepherds heard the story
The angels sang that night
How Christ was born of Mary
He was the son of light
To Bethlehem they ran
To find him in a manger
When half spent was the night
This Flow'r so small and tender
With fragrance fills the air
His brightness ends the darkness
That kept the world in fear
True God and yet true man
He came to save his people
When half spent was the night.
Lo, Savior, child of Mary
Who felt all human woe
O, Savior, king of glory
Who triumphed o'er the foe
Bring us at last we pray
To your bright courts of heaven
And into endless day
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming!
