F     Bb   F


[Verse 1]
F          Bb   F    C    Dm   Gm   F  C   F    C     F
Lo, how a rose e’er blooming  from tender stem hath sprung
F           Bb     C  Dm     Gm   F   C    F      C    F
Of Jesse’s lineage coming    as  men  of   old   have sung
F   Gm   Am  F   G      C          F    Bb  F   C  Dm
It came, a flowerette bright, amid the cold of winter
Gm    F    Gm   F    C    F
When half-spent was the night.

Isaiah ‘twas foretold it,   the   rose I  have in mind

With Mary we behold  it,    the virgin mother kind.
F   Gm  Am     F   G  C            F  Bb  F   C  Dm
To show God’s love aright she bore to men a  Savior,
Gm    F    Gm   F    C    F
When half-spent was the night.
