Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming
Theodore Baker
[Verse 1]
Lo, how a rose e'er blooming
From tender root has sprung
To all the world bestowing
What men of old have sung
There bloomed a lovely flower
Oh, winter's cold was blowing
And midnight was the hour
[Verse 2]
"Lord, how a rose came springing"
Isaiah did proclaim
[?] the heavens were singing
A rose by Mary came
Through God's almighty power
The world salvation bringing
Though midnight was the hour
