19th December: O Radix Jesse
O Root of Jesse, standing as a sign among the peoples;before you kings will shut their mouths,
to you the nations will make their prayer:
Come and deliver us, and delay no longer.
- cf. Isaiah 11.10, 45.14, 52.15; Romans 15.12
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory over the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
