Author: Theodore Baker, 1851-1934 Hymnal: Gather Comprehensive #368 (1994) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Topics: Seasons and Feasts Advent Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As seers of old have sung.
It came, a blossom 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 O Flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispel in glorious splendor
The darkness ev'rywhere;
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death now save us,
And share our ev'ry load.
