Jak růže krásná by Anonymous — Lyrics
1. Jak růže krásná z Jericha,
když v ranní rose oddychá,
tak Matka Páně na nebi
svou krásou Syna velebí,
je spanilá.
2. Z ní přijal Bůh sám tělo své
pro rány kříže bolestné;
a duši ďáblem svedenou,
z původní vlasti vyhnanou,
do ráje zve.

About Jak růže krásná
This devotional song, likely sung during Advent or Christmas, addresses the Virgin Mary, comparing her beauty to a rose in the morning dew. The text then connects her purity and divine role to the Incarnation, highlighting how through her, God took human form for humanity's salvation. The lyrics emphasize that through the Virgin's 'fruit', Adam's debt is repaid, and fallen humanity is restored to grace. The song concludes with a plea to Christ, the Messiah and Son of Mary, for salvation when he touches our hearts. This anonymous Czech hymn is arranged for two-part voices (ST).
