Lo How A Rose Eer Blooming 3 Lyrics

1. I know a Rose tree springing
Forth from an ancient root
As men of old we singing
From Jesse came the shoot

That bore a blossom bright
A-mid the cold of winter
When half spent was the night

2. This rose-tree, blossom laden
Whereof Isaiah spake
Is Mary, spotless maiden1
Who mothered, for our sake

The little Child, newborn
By God's eternal counsel
On that first Christmas morn
