- Today is the seventh and final Great O Antiphon, O Emmanuel. As always, this is the antiphon sung just before the Magnificat at Vespers. It is the last, because tomorrow's Vespers, on Christmas Eve, is the First Vespers of Christmas.
- O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster,
- exspectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum:
- veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.
- O Emmanuel, our king and our lawgiver,
- the hope of the nations and their Saviour:
- Come and save us, O Lord our God.
- Here is the final part of Pärt's Sieben Magnificat Antiphonen.
O Immanuel, unser König und Lehrer,
du Hoffnung und Heiland der Völker:
o komm, eile und schaffe uns Hilfe,
du unser Herr und unser Gott.
O Emmanuel, our king and counselor,
Thou hope and saviour of the nations:
O come, make haste to help us,
Thou our Lord and our God, our God.
