131. Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming

A         D    A    E     F#m D    A   E   F#m  E    A
Lo, how a rose e’er bloom-ing From ten-der stem hath sprung,

A          D   A    E   F#m D  A   E  F#m E    A
Of Jesse’s lin-eage com-ing As men of old have sung.

A  Bm    C#m A     B  E
It came, a  flower-et bright,

E    A   D    A  E   F#  Bm   A    Bm    A   E   A
Amid the cold of win-ter When half spent was the night.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Lo, how a rose e’re blooming
From tenderstem hath sprung,
Of Jesse’s lineage coming
As men of old have sung.
It came, a floweret bright,
Amid the cold of winter
When half spent was the night.

[Verse 2]
Isaiah ’twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind,
With Mary we beheld it,
The virgin mother kind.
To show God’s love aright
She bore to them a Savior,
When half spent was the night.
