The Sprout

Oh you Sprout out of Nazareth,
Nazareth which means "Sprout";
Stem of Jesse we will'th
That to your name we shout

In praise and exultation,
And speak to you with our mouth;
No unclean thing shall spring from it
So put our enemies to Route.

Oh, Christ, your great princedom
Is in heaven above,
Nathan said "What good comes from Nazareth"
And in John's Gospel he wrote

That they thought you were Samaritan
But in the temple you had Taught...
Oh Christ Jesus come swiftly
And win my battles that I have fought.
