The actual name of this Christmas Hymn is "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" which translates into one English version known as "Lo, How a Rose e'er blooming". There are at least 3 known English versions of this hymn, all of which are considered Christmas carols. The "Great and Mighty Wonder" version is a translation of a St. Germanus Greek Text, while the "Lo, How a Rose e'er blooming" version comes from a 16th century German text. I love them both.
