Lo,
How a Rose Ever Blooming 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
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 Saviour,
Child of Mary
Who felt our
human woe
O Saviour,
King of glory
Who dost our
weakness know
Bring us at
length, we pray
To the bright
courts of heaven
And to the
endless day
