Children's Hymnal ‎#165

165. Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

1 Lo, how a rose e’er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming
As men 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.
