Min kristna samhällsblogg: The fragrance of Christ

Christmas time and New Year.

"True man, yet very God, from sin and death He saves us and lightens every load." (The fragrance of Christ)

"Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming

From tender stem hath sprung!

Of Jesse’s lineage coming,

As men of old have sung.

It came, a flow’ret bright,

Amid the cold of winter,

When half spent was the night.

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 men a Savior,

When half spent was the night.

This Flow’r, whose fragrance tender

With sweetness fills the air,

Dispels with glorious splendor

The darkness everywhere.

True man, yet very God,

From sin and death He saves us,

And lightens every load."

(Traditional German carol/Baker, Layriz, Krauth)

Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming (The Cathedral Singers)

Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming (First-Plymouth Church Lincoln Nebraska) singing the lyrics above!

"En stjerne skinner i natt" (Oslo Gospel Choir)
