O Antiphon
The final "O" before Christmas Eve
Dec 23: Emmanuel, God-with-Us

And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O long-sought With-ness for a world without,
O secret seed, O hidden spring of light....
