_ _ _ _ Those two songs have as a central metaphor _ the rose.
The rose was a medieval symbol _ of flawless perfection. _ _ _
_ Both songs are based upon _ a quotation from the Bible from Isaiah.
_ And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse and a branch shall grow out of its roots. _
_ _ The first song is English, 15th century. _ _
But I've interpreted this song in a kind of Middle Eastern way for a number of reasons.
One, the whole Christian story comes from the Middle East.
As does a lot of English music. _ _
This instrument, this lute, _ in Arabic is laud.
_ It was brought back to England by the Crusaders.
_ Stolen.
So [G] this song is called_
What is it called?
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _
There _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ is no _ _ [G] rose of _ such [Fm] virtue. _ _

this. _ _ _ _ _
[C] As _ is the rose [Cm] that _ bears _ [Fm] Jesus. _ _

For me [Bb] this [Fm] rose _ [G] _ _ [Bb] contains
The [F] _ _ _ _

Jesus _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] There [F] _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _

_ As [Bb] this _ [F] rose _ _ that _
[Am] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ bears Jesus
By _ [Bb] that [F] rose we bear _ [Bb] the seed
_ _ [F] _ _ _
That we use the [Bb] _ _ [F] _ essence _ to be _ _ high

[Dm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _

[F] rose [C] of _ [B] such [Fm] virtue _ _ _
As _ [Bb] this _ [F]
rose _ _ that [Em] bears [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _
Jesus
_ But _ an angel _ sung and _ a _ shepherd _ _ called _ _ me
My Lord _ Jesus _ _
