The most beautiful rose has bloomed

1. The most beautiful rose has opened, ; It perfumes the world. ; In Bethlehem the golden house shines, ; (S)efore King David plays the harp. ; ; 2. Little Bethlehem where were you taken? ; How your stable is a secret sanctuary. ; Tomorrow happy Israel will rise, ; The light of the world will rise from you. ; ; 3. Here the tower of King David shines, ; As Isaiah foretold, ; Here it falls to the ground as a wonder of the world, ; The dark night of four thousand years. ; ; 4. All nations bless this night, ; The word of the prophets, on which it was fulfilled. ; This night is brighter than all days, ; Our Messiah, on which he descended among us. ; ; 5. The happy hope of four thousand years, ; Thus we have come to full hope. ; Whom our pious and wise fathers so awaited, ; He will pour out upon us the rays of mercy.
