Lyrics

[00:03.18] Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
[00:11.87] From tender stem hath sprung!
[00:24.70] Of Jesse's lineage coming
[00:28.89]
[00:32.53] By ancient sibyls sung
[00:43.54] A rose doth bear a flower
[00:49.21] All in the cold midwinter
[00:52.26]
[00:56.57] And at the midnight hour
[01:08.86] And he waits for who to find
[01:14.42] The heart she left behind
[01:17.12]
[01:19.96] And he prays she'll find her way
[01:25.34] To be his bride someday
[01:32.63]
[01:34.24] Ivy Of all the trees in the wood
[01:40.90] Holly wants woos the Rose
[01:43.66] Holly and the Ivy
[01:46.47] When they are both full grown
[01:48.96] Of all the trees in the wood
[01:51.64] Holly bears the crown
[01:54.83] Holly and the Ivy
[01:57.44] The running of the deer
[01:59.82] For his Rose to bloom
[02:02.94] Holly waits every year
[02:04.55] He waits for who to find
[02:11.49] The heart she left behind
[02:16.88] He prays she'll find her way
[02:22.31] To be his bride someday
[02:31.35] Ivy Of all the trees in the wood
[02:37.90] Holly wants woos the Rose
[02:40.72] Holly and the Ivy
[02:43.52] When they are both full grown
[02:46.14] Of all the trees in the wood
[02:49.02] Holly bears the crown
[02:51.94] The holly and the Ivy
[02:54.33] The running of the deer
[02:57.19] For his Rose to bloom
[03:00.13] Holly waits every year
[03:02.80] For his Rose to bloom
[03:05.62] Holly waits every year
[03:08.67] Waits every year
[03:14.47] Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
[03:28.39] From tender stem hath sprung!
[03:37.19] The frozen air perfuming
[03:45.56] That tiny bloom doth swell
[03:54.98] Its rays the night illuming
[04:02.84] The darkness quite dispel
[04:12.33] O flower beyond compare
[04:18.31] Bloom in our heart's midwinter
[04:26.43] Restore the springtime here.
