Lo How A Rose E'er Blooming Lyrics - John Mcdermott

Lo how a rose e'er blooming 

From tender stem hath sprung 

Of jesse's lineage coming 

As seers of old have sung 

It came a blossom 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 a right 

She bore to us a savior 

When half spent was the night 

O flower whose fragrance tender 

With sweetness fills the air 

Dispel in glorious splendor 

The darkness everywhere 

True man yet very god 

From sin and death now save us 

And share our every load
