There blooms a rose in Bethlehem, from tender stem hath sprung
    Bm     F#m       G      D        Em     E7       A
Of Jesse's line this flower grows as men of old have sung
A7/C#          Dsus4 D   F#7                 Bm G
Isaiah told us long ago about this rose we’d find
   D      F#m      G       D        Em     A     D
In virgin arms, we shall behold the Savior of mankind

The glories of the heavens surrounded shepherds bright
    Bm     F#m     G        D          Em         E7        A
The angels sang, a sign was shown, the Christ was born that night
     A/C#         Dsus4 D        F#7              Bm G
What mystery they came upon, the sign the heralds laud
   D      F#m       G    D       Em         A      D
In manger slept the Holy One, in flesh, the Son of God

This flow'r in bloom, a scent so sweet that greets us in the air
   Bm     F#m         G      D        Em       E7/G#      A
It has dispelled with hopefulness the sting of death’s despair
    A7/C#               Dsus    D        F#7             Bm G
Foretold, this rose was born to die, but would not see decay
   D         F#m         G        D
So those who place their faith in Him
      G       A        Bm G
Shall blossom from the grave

Shall blossom from the grave
