Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Author: Friedrich L. C. Layriz, 1808-59; Theodore Baker, 1851-1934; Harriet R. K. Spaeth, 1845-1925; John C. Mattes, 1876-1948 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:14-15 Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As prophets long have sung,
It came, a flow'ret 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 us a Savior,
When half-spent was the night.
3 This flow'r, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness ev'rywhere.
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death he saves us
And lightens ev'ry load.
4 O Savior, child of Mary,
Who felt our human woe;
O Savior, King of glory,
Who dost our weakness know:
Bring us at length we pray
To the bright courts of heaven,
And to the endless day. Used With Tune: ES IST EIN ROS (Rhythmic) Text Sources: German, 16th cent. (sts. 1-2, 4)

thy people's everlasting light,
Jesus, redeemer of us all,
hear thou thy servants when they call.

of all creation doomed to die,
didst save our lost and guilty race
by healing gifts of heavenly grace.

thou didst in love's redeeming power,
like bridegroom from his chamber, come
forth from a maiden mother's womb.

all knees in lowly homage bow;
all things in heaven and earth adore,
and own thee King for evermore.

and God the Spirit, Three-in-One,

In the Bleak Midwinter
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Meter: Irregular Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:10-18 Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.
2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign:
in the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
the Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.
3 Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
worshipped the beloved with a kiss.
4 What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
if I were a wise man, I would do my part;
yet what I can, I give him -- give my heart.

And bore our sins and pains,
Now, seated on th' eternal throne,
The God of glory reigns.

With an unerring skill,
And countless worlds, extended wide,
Obey his sovereign will.

In yonder world above,
His saints on earth admire his ways,
And glory in his love.

Beat heavy on their head,
To this almighty Rock they run,
And find a pleasing shade.

In such a glorious Friend!

And crowns them at the end. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; At the Right Hand of the Majesty on High
