To show God's love aright, she bore to us a savior When half spent was the night. This flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor, the darkness everywhere; True man, yet very God, from sin and death he saves us, and lightens every load. Recorded at St Pio of Pietrelcina Roman Catholic Church, 103 Washington Ave, Lavallette, NJ 08735-2351 Copyright 2012 New Jersey Chamber Singers  less
