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 Savior,
When half spent was the night.
3 This Flow'r, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness ev'rywhere.
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death he saves us,
And lightens ev'ry load. Topics: Christmas Scripture: Isaiah 11:1 Used With Tune: ES IST EIN' ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN Text Sources: Speier Gesangbuch, 1599

And left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm, and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightway,

All you within this place,
And with true love and charity
Each other now embrace;

With the melody of peace. [Refrain]

When Love Is Found
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics: 1 When love is found and hope comes home,
Sing and be glad that two are one.
When love explodes and fills the sky,
Praise God and share our Maker’s joy.
2 When love has flower’d in trust and care,
Build both each day, that love may dare
To reach beyond home’s warmth and light,
To serve and strive for truth and right.
3 When love is tried as loved ones change,
Hold still to hope, though all seems strange,
Till ease returns and love grows wise
Through list'ning ears and opened eyes.
4 When love is torn, and trust betrayed,
Pray strength to love till torments fade,
Till lovers keep no score of wrong
But hear through pain love’s Easter song.
5 Praise God for love, praise God for life,
In age or youth, in calm or strife.
Lift up your hearts! Let love be fed
Through death and life in broken bread. Topics: Marriage; Ordinary Time, Twenty-Seventh Sunday B Used With Tune: O WALY WALY
