Author: Theodore Baker (1851-1934) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #131 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 First Line: Lo, how a rose e'er blooming Lyrics: 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 them a Savior.
When half spent was the night. Topics: Jesus Christ Birth Tune Title: ES IST EIN ROS
Lo, Ho a Rose E'er Blooming
