Advent Prayers
with the seven O Antiphons

The O Antiphons are seven prayers by which we call for the coming of Christ among us--as Wisdom, Deliverer, Key of David, Root of Jesse, King of the Nations, Dayspring, and Emmanuel.  

We invite you to use these beautiful prayers to ground your spiritual practice this season of Advent, using one of the seven antiphons as the basis of your prayers for each of the seven days of the week. 

Below you will find a variety of resources based on the seven O Antiphons to explore and enrich your Advent Prayer Practice: chants, cycles of songs and prayers to pray with Anglican Prayer Beads, and ASL (American Sign Language) interpretations of each antiphon.

Monday: O Wisdom (O Sapientia)

Picture
O Sapientia, quae ex ore Altissimi prodiisti,
attingens a fine usque ad finem,
fortiter suaviterque disponens omnia:
veni ad docendum nos viam prudentiae

Tuesday: O Lord (O Adonai)

Picture
O Adonai, et Dux domus Israel,
qui Moysi in igne flammae rubi apparuisti,
et ei in Sina legem dedisti:
veni ad redimendum nos in brachio extento.

Wednesday: O King of Nations (O Rex Gentium)

Picture
O Rex Gentium, et desideratus earum,
lapisque angularis, qui facis utraque unum:
veni, et salva hominem,
quem de limo formasti.​

Thursday: O Root of Jesse (O Radix Jesse)

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

Friday: O Key of David (O Clavis David)

Picture
O Clavis David, et sceptrum domus Israel;
qui aperis, et nemo claudit;
claudis, et nemo aperit:
veni, et educ vinctum de domo carceris,
sedentem in tenebris, et umbra mortis.

Saturday: O Dayspring (O Oriens)

Picture
O Oriens,
splendor lucis aeternae, et sol justitiae:
veni, et illumina sedentes in tenebris, et umbra mortis.

Sunday: O God with Us (O Emmanuel)

Picture
O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster,
exspectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum:
veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.
