O Radix Jesse

The O Antiphon for December 19:

O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse)
Isaiah 11:1-16 / Romans 15:8-13 / Revelation 5:1-5

O Radix Jesse,[image error]

qui stas in signum populorum,
super quem continebunt reges os suum,
quem Gentes deprecabuntur:
veni ad liberandum nos,
jam noli tardare.

O Root of Jesse,
standing as an ensign before the peoples,
before whom all kings are mute,
to whom the nations will do homage;
Come quickly to deliver us.
