Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

Author: Theodore Baker (1851-1934); Friedrich Layritz (1808-1859); Harriet Reynolds Krauth Spaeth (1845-1925) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 7:10-16 Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming from tender stem hath sprung! of Jesse's lineage coming as seers of old have sung. It came, a blossom bright, amid the cold of winter, when half spent 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 us a Saviour, when half spent was the night. 3 O Flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, dispel in glorious splendour the darkness everywhere; true man, yet very God, from sin and death now save us, and share our every load.

I Lay My Sins on Jesus

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 557 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 7:14 Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus, The spotless Lamb of God; He bears them all, and frees us From the accursed load. I bring my guilt to Jesus To wash my crimson stains White in His blood most precious, Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus, All fulness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I rest my soul on Jesus, This weary soul of mine; His right hand me embraces, I on His breast recline. I love the name of Jesus, Immanuel, Christ the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes, His name abroad is poured. 4 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy Child. I long to be with Jesus Amid the heav'nly throng, To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song. Amen. Topics: Christ Savior Used With Tune: AURELIA
