Lyrics
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 behold it, the virgin mother kind.
To shew God's love aright she bore to men a saviour,
When half-spent was the night.
