¶Lyrics / Text

I. ''O Sapientia'' O Wisdom, coming forth from the mouth of the Most High, reaching from one end to the other mightily, and sweetly ordering all things: Come and teach us the way of prudence. II. ''O Adonai'' O adonai and leader of the House of Israel, who appeared to Moses in the fire of the burning bush and gave him the law on Sinai: come to redeem us with outstretched arm. III. ''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. IV. ''O Clavis David'' O Key of David and sceptre of the House of Israel, you open and no one can shut; you shut and no one can open: Come and lead the prisoners from the prison house, those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death. V. ''O Oriens'' O Dayspring, splendour of light eternal and sun of righteousness: Come and enlighten those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death. VI. ''O Rex Gentium'' O King of the nations, and their desire, the cornerstone making both one: Come and save the human race, which you fashioned from clay. VII. ''O Emmanuel'' O Emmanuel, our king and our law giver, the hope of the nations and their Saviour: Come and save us, O Lord our God.
