Blessed Advent
O Wisdom, coming forth from the mouth of the most high, and reaching mightily from one end of the earth to the other, ordering all things well: Come and teach us the way of prudence-
Even so, come Lord Jesus.
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 and redeem us with an outstretched arm-
Even so, come Lord Jesus.
O Root of Jesse, standing as a sign to the people, before whom kings shall shut their mouths and the nations shall seek: Come and deliver us and do not delay-
Even so, come Lord Jesus.
O Key of David, and scepter of the house of Israel, who opens and no one can shut, who shuts and no one can open: Come and bring the prisoners from the prison house, those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death-
Even so, come Lord Jesus.
O Daystar, splendor of light eternal and sun of righteousness: Come and enlighten those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death-
Even so, come Lord Jesus.
O King of the nations, and their desire, the corner-stone making both one: Come and save us, whom you formed from the dust-
Even so, come Lord Jesus.
O Emmanuel, our King and Lawgiver, the desire of all nations and their Savior: Come and save us, O Lord our God-
Even so, come Lord Jesus.
