Author: Theodore Baker (1851-1934); Friedrich Layritz (1808-1859); Harriet Reynolds Krauth Spaeth (1845-1925) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #117 (1998) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Scripture: Isaiah 7:10-16 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 Saviour,
when half spent was the night.
3 O Flower, whose fragrance tender
with sweetness fills the air,
dispel in glorious splendour
the darkness everywhere;
true man, yet very God,
from sin and death now save us,
and share our every load. Topics: Advent; Christmas; Mary; Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN ROS
