O radix Iesse...


Today is the 19th day of the month of December (and also Ember Saturday in Advent, lots of lovely long Lessons!), so on with the Antiphonae Maiores:

O radix Iesse, qui stas in signum populorum, super quem continebunt reges os suum, quem gentes deprecabuntur: veni ad liberandum nos, iam noli tardare.

O root of Jesse, you who stand a sign of the people, over whom kings will not open their mouths, whom the Gentiles will pray: come to free us, tarry now no longer.
