Lo How A Rose Ever Blooming lyrics at Christmas-Songs.Org:
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 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 us a Savior
When half spent was the night.
O Flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air
Dispel with glorious splendor
The darkness everywhere
True man, yet very God
From sin and death now save us
And share our every load.
German: Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen
Aus einer Wurzel zart
Wie uns die Alten sungen
Aus Jesse kam die Art
Und hat ein Blümlein bracht
Mitten im kalten Winter
Wohl zu der halben Nacht.
Das Röslein das ich meine
Davon Jesaias sagt
Maria ist's, die Reine
Die uns das Blümlein bracht
Aus Gottes ewigem Rat
Hat sie ein Kindlein g'boren
Bleibend ein reine Magd.
