Of Jesse’s lineage coming,

As men of old have sung;

It came, a    flow’ret bright,
D        G    D  A  Bm
Amid the cold of winter,
Em   D    Em    D   A   D
When half spent was the night.

O Flower, whose fragrance tender

With sweetness fills the air,

Dispel with glorious splendor

The darkness every where;

True man, yet very God,
D            G     D   A    D
From Sin and death now save us,
Em  D     Em  D  A  D
And share our every load.
