O Antiphons Day 3, 4, 5 and 6

December 19
Root of Jesse, which standest for an ensign of the people, at Whom the
kings shall shut their mouths, Whom the Gentiles shall seek, come to
deliver
us, do not tarry.

Latin
O Radix Jesse, qui stas in signum populorum, super quem continebunt
reges os
suum, quem Gentes deprecabuntur: veni ad liberandum nos, jam noli
tardare.

December 20
Key of David, and Sceptre of the house of Israel, that openeth and no
man
shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth, come to liberate the
prisoner
from the prison, and them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of
death.

Latin
O Clavis David, et sceptrum domus Israel; qui aperis, et nemo claudit;
claudis, et nemo aperit: veni, et educ vinctum de domo carceris,
sedentem in
tenebris, et umbra mortis.

- The Magnificat
- Repeat Antiphon
- Sing "O Come O Come Emmanuel"

Dayspring, Brightness of the everlasting light, Son of justice, come
to
give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death!

sedentes
in tenebris, et umbra mortis.

-The Magnificat

King of the Gentiles, yea, and desire thereof! O Corner-stone, that
makest
of two one, come to save man, whom Thou hast made out of the dust of
the
earth!

Latin
O Rex Gentium, et desideratus earum, lapisque angularis, qui facis
utraque
unum: veni, et salva hominem, quem de limo formasti.


-The Magnificat
-Repeat Antiphon
