Lo! How a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung
Of Jesse's lineage coming,
As those of old have sung.
It came a flower bright
Amid the cold of winter
When half-spent was the night.
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/lo-how-a-rose-eer-blooming-lyrics-sufjan-stevens.html ]
Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind;
And so then 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.
