about

15th century German carol. Translation: Theodore Baker (1851-1934). Arr. Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer, admin. by Tracy Grammer Music

lyrics

lo, how a rose e'er bloomin
from tender stem hath sprung
of jesse's lineage comin
as those of old have sung
it came a floweret bright
amid 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 us a savior
when half spent was the night

lo how a rose ...

the shepherds heard the story
proclaimed by angels bright
how christ the lord of glory
was born on earth this night
to bethlehem they sped
and in the manger found him
as angel heralds said

lo how a rose ...
lo how a rose ...
