See how God's flower blossoms
From dry and hardened earth,
And from our sin and darkness,
A child of humble birth;
So small for such a need,
Yet all of love's long promise
Is in that tiny seed.

The breath of God Eternal
Fills fragile flesh and bone
With truth and love and beauty
That glows of God alone.
And we have seen His face-
The glory of the Father,
The flower of His grace.

This flower is now a garden,
The fruit of that small seed,
A promise green and growing,
An Eden yet to be.
O Christ, our heart's delight!
We rise and bloom and flourish
In You, our Love and Life!
