lo, how a rose e'er blooming - george beverly shea lyrics

[verse 1]
lo, how a rose e’er blooming
from tender root has sprung
to all the world bestowing
what men of old have sung
there bloomed a lovely flower
oh, winter’s cold was blowing
and midnight was the hour

[verse 2]
“lord, how a rose came springing”
isaiah did proclaim
[?] the heavens were singing
a rose by mary came
through god’s almighty power
the world salvation bringing
though midnight was the hour
