Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Author: Theodore Baker; Harriet Krauth Spaeth Meter: Irregular Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 11:1 First Line: Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming Lyrics: 1. Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath spring!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As men of old have sung.
It came, a flower bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half-gone was the night.
2. Isaish '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-gone 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. Used With Tune: ES IST EIN ROS

Lord, bring the day to pass
Author: Ian Fraser, b. 1917 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 11:6-9 Lyrics: 1 Lord, bring the day to pass
when forest, rock and hill,
the beasts, the birds, the grass,
will know your finished will:
when we attain our destiny
and nature lives in harmony.
2 Forgive our careless use
of water, ore and soil —
the plenty we abuse
supplied by others' toil:
save us from making self our creed,
turn us towards each other's need.
3 Give us, when we release
creation's secret powers,
to harness them for peace —
our children's peace and ours:
teach us the art of mastering
in servant form, which draws death's sting.
4 Creation groans, travails,
futile its present plight,
bound — till the hour it hails
God's children born of light,
who enter on their true estate.
Come, Lord: new heavens and earth create. Used With Tune: LAWES'S PSALM 47
Lord, bring the day to pass
