Lo, how a Rose e'er bloomingFrom tender stem hath sprung!Of Jesse's lineage comingAs men of old have sung.It came, a flower bright,Amid the cold of winterWhen half-gone 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 arightShe bore to men a SaviorWhen half-gone was the night.This Flower, whose fragrance tenderWith sweetness fills the air,Dispels with glorious splendorThe darkness everywhere.True man, yet very God,From sin and death He saves usAnd lightens every loadFrom sin and death He saves usAnd lightens every load
