There Blooms a Rose in Bethlehem - Sovereign Grace Music

There blooms a rose in Bethlehem

From tender stem hath sprung

Of Jesse’s line this flower grows

As men of old have sung

Isaiah told us long ago

About this rose we’d find

In virgin arms we shall behold

The Savior of mankind

The glories of the heavens

Surrounded shepherds bright

The angels sang, a sign was shown

The Christ was born that night

What mystery they came upon

The sign the heralds laud

In manger slept the Holy One

In flesh, the Son of God

This flower in bloom, a scent so sweet

That greets us in the air

It has dispelled with hopefulness

The sting of death’s despair

Foretold, this rose was born to die

But would not see decay

So those who place their faith in Him

Shall blossom from the grave

So those who place their faith in Him

Shall blossom from the grave
