Subject: Lyr Add: LO HOW A ROSE UPSPRINGING (Theodore Baker
To give the full (2 verse) version that I quoted partially above.

LO, HOW A ROSE UPSPRINGING
Melody C15th Tr. by Theodore Baker

Lo, how a Rose upspringing on tender root has grown;
Known from the prophets' singing of Jesse's line the crown.
While shone the Star so bright,
It came a flow'r of winter in stillness of midnight.

Fair Rose in manger lowly Isaiah told of yore.
Our dear Redeemer holy the Blessed Mary bore;
This gift from God above
To bring us men salvation, lay shelter'd in her love.
