Does anyone know the first line of this Christmas song?

Question

The first line will be eleven sylables long and the next lines are "twas on a winter's night, was born a child, the Christmas rose, the king of love and light. The angels sang, the shepherds sang, the greatful earth rejoiced and at his blessed birth the stars their exaltation voiced ..."

Thanks so much everyone. I spent this entire day with that song going through my thoughts, minus the first line obviously, and came to yahoo answers when I couldn't even sleep because of it. Now I can go to sleep.

Answer 1

Gesu Bambino (The Infant Jesus)
you basically said the first line.

When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows upon a winter night
Was born the Child the Christmas Rose, The King of Love and Light
The angels sang, the shepherds sang, The grateful earth rejoiced
And at His blessed birth the stars Their exultation voiced.

O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

Again the heart with rapture glows To greet the holy night
That gave the world its Christmas Rose, Its king of Love and Light
Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name, The grateful chorus swell
From paradise to earth He came That we with Him might dwell

O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

Answer 2

Big time guess:

"The Christmas Rose"

A Rose has sprung from a tender root,
From Jesus, as those of old have sung,
And it bore a flower,
in the middle of a cold winter,
When helf spent was the night.
Isaiah foretold it, the Rose I have in mind;
Is Mary the pure, the little flower has brought us.
From God's eternal wisdon, she bore a child,
And remained pure.

The Flower, so small, whose sweet fragrance
fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor the darkness
everywhere;
True man and truer God, helps us out of all sorrows,
Saves from sin and death.

Oh Jesus, until we leave this misery,
Let your help guide us into joy,
In Your Father's Kingdon, where we eternally praise You.
Oh God, allow us this.
