Of a Rose, a lovely Rose Monteverdichor Würzburg Thüringer Symphoniker Saalfeld-Rudolstadt Matthias Beckert (cond.) Live recording from december 4th, 2011 in the Neubaukirche, Würzburg, Germany. Of a Rose, a lovely Rose, Of a Rose is all my song. Hearken to me, both old and young, How this Rose began to spring; A fairer Rose to mine liking In all this world ne know I none. Five branches of that Rose there been, The which be both fair and sheen; The Rose is called Mary, heaven's queen. Out of her bosom a blossom sprang. The first branch was of great honour: That blest Marie should bear the flow'r; There came an angel from heaven's tower To break the devil's bond. The second branch was great of might, That sprang upon Christmas night; The star shone over Bethlem bright, That man should see it both day and night.

To show God's love aright, she bore to us a savior When half spent was the night. This flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor, the darkness everywhere; True man, yet very God, from sin and death he saves us, And lightens every load.
