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