1 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 floweret bright,
amid the cold of winter
when half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
the Rose I have in mind;
with Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.
To show God's love aright,
she bore to men a Savior,
when half spent was the night.
