VOCES8: Es ist ein Ros entsprungen

VOCES8 sings the traditional German carol, 'Es ist ein Ros entsprungen' during a recording session for the group's album, EQUINOX.www.voces8equinox.comA spotless Rose is blowing, sprung from a tender root, Of ancient seers’ foreshowing of Jesse promised fruit; Its fairest bud unfolds to light Amid the cold, cold winter; and in the dark midnight.The Rose which I am singing, whereof Isaiah said, Is from its sweet root springing in Mary, purest Maid; For, through our God’s great love and might, The blessed Babe she bare us in a cold, cold winter’s night.This Flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendour the darkness everywhere;True Man, yet very God, From sin and death He saves us, and lightens every load.O Jesus, by being born out of this vale of tears, Let Thy help guide us to the hall of joy In your father’s kingdom, As we praise You eternally; O God, give us that.****VOCES8 is part of the VCM Foundation, a music education foundation.
