  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 floweret bright, amid the cold of winter
  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.
  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.
  
  Recorded at St Pio of Pietrelcina Roman Catholic Church, 103 Washington Ave, Lavallette, NJ 08735-2351
