Frederica von Stade - Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming

This will be my last Advent musical posting, I think.  This is one of my favorite songs of the Advent Season, especially when beautifully sung, as it is here by Frederica von Stade.  

O Flower, whose fragrance tender

With sweetness fills the air,

Dispel with glorious splendour

The darkness everywhere;

True man, yet very God,

From Sin and death now save us,

And share our every load.
