The Great “O” Antiphons were sung before and after the
Psalm at Vespers during the last seven days of Advent. They were used to create the hymn “O Come, O
Come, Emmanuel,” which is the Hymn of the Day for the Fourth Sunday in Advent:
Rorate Coeli. The “O” Antiphon for December 18 is:
O Adonai and ruler of the house of Israel,
who appeared to Moses in the burning bush and gave him the Law on Sinai:
Come with an outstretched arm and redeem us.
