Albrecht Mayer, The King's Singers
Es ist ein' Ros' entsprungen
Aus einer Wurzel zart
Wie uns die Alten sungen
Von Jesse war die Art
Und hat ein Blüm'lein 'bracht;
Mitten im kalten Winter
Wohl zu der halben Nacht
1. 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 halfspent was the night
2. Das Röslein, das ich meine
Davon Jesaia sagt:
Maria ist’s, die Reine
Die uns das Blüm'lein bracht'
Aus Gottes ew’gem Rat
Hat sie ein Kind geboren
Wohl zu der halben Nacht
2. 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 us a Savior
When halfspent was the night
3. Das Blümelein, so kleine
Das duftet uns so süß;
Mit seinem hellen Scheine
Vertreibt’s die Finsternis
Wahr’r Mensch und wahrer Gott!
Hilft uns aus allem Leide
Rettet von Sünd' und Tod
A 'Ros' has sprung
Tender from a root
As the elders sang to us
Of Jesse was the kind
And brought a little flower;
In the middle of the cold winter
Probably for half the night
1. 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 halfspent was the night
2. The little rose I mean
Of which Isaiah says:
It's Maria, the pure one
who brought us the little flowers
From God's eternal counsel
Did she give birth to a child?
Probably for half the night
2. Isaiah 'twas foretold it
The Rose I have in mind
With Mary we behold it
The virgin mother kind;
To show God's love right
She bore to us a Savior
When halfspent was the night
3. The little flower, so small
That smells so sweet to us;
With its bright glow
Drive away the darkness
True man and true God!
Helps us out of all suffering
Save from sin and death
