Author: Theodore Baker, 1851-1934 Hymnal: Glory and Praise (3rd. ed.) #246 (2015) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Hymnal Title: Glory and Praise (3rd. ed.) Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming,
As those of old have sung.
It came, a flower bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
This 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 Flow'r, 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. Topics: The Liturgical Year Christmas (Days of); The Liturgical Year Mary, the Holy Mother of God Scripture: Isaiah 11:1 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN
