lo, how a rose e're blooming

Singer:charlotte church

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 flow'ret bright

amid the cold of winter

when half spent was the light. 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 saviour

when half spent was the night. o flow'r

whose fragrance tender

with sweetness fills the air

dispel in glorious splendour

the darkness ev'ry where. true man

yet very god

from sin and death now save us

and share our ev're load.
