My memory told me it was recorded by The Druids (Keith Kendrick, Johnny Adams, etc.) - but they tell me this is NOT true....Does anyone know whom may have recorded the version below sometime in the 1970's. I am interest to know where this version came from eg Translation, etc.. as well as who recorded it. Thanks - Tim Radford THE ROSE OF SHARON. See from the root out springing A tender plant appears, The promised blessing bringing, Foretold by ancient seers. For lo a rose blooms bright, amid the cold Cold winter and in the gloom of night. This rose is the anointed, In Bethlehem manger Born, Eternally appointed to bless this breaking morn, And all around is bright, Indeed a heavenly Glory, Shines through a gloom of night. |
