Lo how a rose e'er blooming : Lo how a Rose e'er blooming
Michael Praetorius Lyrics

Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung Of Jesse's lineage coming,
cs men of old have sung.
It came, a flow'ret bright,
cmid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.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 men a Savior,
When half spent was the night. cmid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.
