123 Lo, how a rose e’er bloo -- ming from ten -- der stem hath sprung!
124 Of Jes -- se’s line -- age com -- ing as men of old have sung.
125 It came, a flo -- wer bright,
126 A -- mid the cold of win -- ter, when half -- spent was the night.
131 I -- sa -- iah ’twas fore -- told it, the rose I have in mind;
132 With Ma -- ry we be -- hold it, the vir -- gin mo -- ther kind.
133 To show God’s love a -- right
134 She bore to men a sa -- vior, when half -- spent was the night.
139 This flower, whose fra -- grance ten -- der with sweet -- ness fills the air,
140 Dis -- pels with glo -- rious splen -- dor the dark -- ness e -- very -- where.
141 True man, yet ve -- ry God,
142 From sin and death he saves us and light -- ens e -- very load.
