Lyrics A Tender Shoot - Sir Stephen Cleobury , Choir of King's College, Cambridge
A
tender
shoot
hath
started
Up
from
a
root
of
grace
As
ancient
seers
imparted
From
Jesse′s
holy
race
It
blooms
without
a
blight
It
blooms
without
a
blight
Blooms
in
the
cold
bleak
winter
Turning
our
darkness
into
light
This
shoot
Isaiah
taught
us
From
Jesse's
root
should
spring
The
Virgin
Mary
brought
us
The
branch
of
which
we
sing
Our
God
of
endless
might
Our
God
of
endless
might
Gave
her
this
child
to
save
us
Thus
turning
darkness
into
light
