From tender stem hath sprung! Of Jesse's lineage coming As men
of old have sung. It came, a flower bright, Amid the cold of
winter When half-gone was the night. 2 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 men a Savior
When half-gone was the night. 3 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 Baptist Hymnal
