23rd December: O Emmanuel
O Emmanuel, our king and our lawgiver,the hope of the nations and their Saviour:
Come and save us, O Lord our God.
cf. Isaiah 7:14
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
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.
