Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming C F Am Em F G G7 C #1 Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming from tender stem hath sprung! C F Am Em F G G7 C Of Jesse’s lineage co..ming, as men of old have sung. C D G It came, a floweret bright, C F Am Em F G G7 C Amid the cold of win ter, When half spent was the night. C F Am Em F G G7 C #2 Isaiah ’twas foretold it, the Rose I have in mind; C F Am Em F G G7 C With Mary we behold it, the virgin mother kind. C D G To show God’s love aright, C F Am Em F G G7 C she bore to men a Sa vior, When half spent was the night. C F Am Em F G G7 C #3 The shepherds heard the sto ry proclaimed by angels bright, C F Am Em F G G7 C How Christ, the Lord of glo ry was born on earth this night. C D G To Bethlehem they sped C F Am Em F G G7 C and in the manger found Him, As angel heralds said. C F Am Em F G G7 C #4 This Flower, whose fragrance ten der with sweetness fills the air, C F Am Em F G G7 C Dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere; C D G True Man, yet very God, C F Am Em F G G7 C from sin and death He saves us, And lightens every load. C F Am Em F G G7 C #5 O Savior, Child of Ma ry, who felt our human woe, C F Am Em F G G7 C O Savior, King of glory, who dost our weakness know; C D G Bring us at length we pray, C F Am Em F G G7 C to the bright courts of Heaven, And to the endless day! Romans 15:12 Isiah says from the root of Jesse will spring up on who will arise to rule over the nations. The gentiles will hope in him.
