"Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming"
This probably isn’t a favorite Christmas song to many, however, to me it sums up what the season means to me as a believer in Jesus Christ.
Here are the words:
“Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming”
Lo, how a rose e’er blooming from tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming as seers of old have sung,
It came, a flow’r so bright,
a mid the cold of winter,
when half spent was the night.
Isaiah had foretold it, the rose I have in mind.
With Mary 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.
This flow’r whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air,
dispels with glorious splendor the darkness ev’rywhere.
True man, yet very God, from sin and death He saves us and lightens every load.
O Savior, child of Mary, who felt our human woe;
O Savior, king of glory, who dost our weakness know;
bring us at length, we pray,
to the bright courts of heaven and into endless day.

I’d love to hear it, who’s the artis who sings this?
lorilee replied 6 days ago
If you go on You Tube and type in the name of the song – - – various artists will come up that sing it – - – I’m really not sure who all has sung it! It’s a very old hymn.
