Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
There is a flower springing
From tender roots it grows.
From Eden beauty bringing
From Jesse's stem a rose.
On his green branch it blows:
A bud that in cold winter
At midnight will unclose.
VERSE 2
Pure Mary, maiden holy,
The dream by prophets seen,
Who in a stable lowly
Above her child did lean.
So gentle and serene:
This was Esaias' vision,
The tree of living green.
VERSE 3
To Mary, rose of heaven,
With loving hearts we say
Let our sins be forgiven,
And grief be turned away
Upon this Christmas Day:
To Jesus, Child of Winter,
For grace and hope we pray.
