Sting – Lo How A Rose Eer Blooming (Guitar)

F         Bb   F    C    Dm
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming

Bb   F  C   Dm(Bb)C   F
From tender stem hath sprung!

F          Bb  F   C  Dm
Of Jesse's lineage coming,

Bb F     C  Dm(Bb)C  F
As those of old have sung.

F  Gm    Am F  G  C
It came, a flower bright,

C F      Bb   F  C  Dm
Amid the cold of winter,

Gm   F    C     Dm(Bb)C F
When half spent was the night.

F       Bb   F   C    Dm
Isaiah 'twas foretold it,

Bb  F    C Dm(Bb)C F
The Rose I have in mind;

F         Bb F C    Dm
With Mary we behold it,

Bb  F  C  Dm(Bb)C F
The virgin mother kind.

F  Gm   Am    F    G C
To show God's love aright,

C   F       Bb F C Dm
She bore to us a Savior,

Gm   F    C     Dm(Bb)C F
When half spent was the night.

F                  Bb F      C  Dm
This Flower, whose fragrance tender

Bb   F    C    Dm(Bb)C   F
With sweetness fills the air,

F            Bb  F    C    Dm
Dispels with glorious splendor

Bb  F   C    Dm(Bb)C F
The darkness everywhere;

F    Gm   Am  F G  C
True Man, yet very God,

C    F       Bb    F  C     Dm
From sin and death He saves us,

Gm  F   C    Dm(Bb)C F
And lightens every load.
