about

A setting of the ‘Great Antiphons’, or ‘O’ Antiphons, sung during the week before Christmas: seven of them exist in 11th-century manuscipts, although they may well be half a millennium older still; in 18th-century France an eighth Antiphon was added, binding together the threads of the cycle.

lyrics

O Wisdom of God,
which art the Word proceeding from the Most High;
reaching from the beginning to the end;
firmly and gently disposing all things:
Come Thou, and teach us in the way of understanding.
Come, Lord Jesu.

O Adonai,
Captain of the House of Israel;
Thou which didst appear unto Moses in the fire of the burning bush,
and gavest unto him the law in Sinai:
Come Thou, and redeem us with Thine outstretched arm.
Come, Lord Jesu…

O Root of Jesse,
which standest for an ensign of the people,
before Whom Kings shall shut their mouth,
unto Whom the nations shall make their supplications:
Come Thou, and deliver us; make no longer tarrying.
Come, Lord Jesu…

O Key of David,
Sceptre of the House of Israel,
Which openest and no man shutteth;
Which shuttest and no man openeth:
Come Thou, and bring forth from the prison-house him that is bound.
Come, Lord Jesu…

O Dayspring from on high,
Brightness of Eternal Light,
Sun of Righteousness:
Come Thou, and shine upon them that are sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death.
Come, Lord Jesu…

O King of the Gentiles,
God of Israel and his Saviour,
chief Corner-stone, which makest both one:
Come Thou, and save Thy creatures, whom Thou didst fashion from the dust of the earth.
Come, Lord Jesu…

O Emmanuel,
our King and Lawgiver,
the Expectation of the Gentiles, and their Desire:
Come Thou unto our salvation, O Lord our Saviour and our God.
Come, Lord Jesu…

O Shepherd of Israel,
Lord over the house of David;
Whose goings forth have been from of old, even from everlasting:
Come Thou, and feed Thy people in Thy strength, and rule them in equity and judgment.
Come, Lord Jesu.

Lord Jesu, come.
