Series Information

Oh, the O Antiphons, what a delight,
They call upon Jesus, in titles so bright!
First comes Wisdom, so clever and wise,
Guiding our hearts, with truth in His eyes.
Then Adonai, the mighty Lord,
Leading us onward, with His powerful word.
Root of Jesse, from ancient days,
Bringing new life, in wondrous ways.
Key of David, unlocking the door,
To a kingdom of peace, forevermore.
Dayspring, oh light, so radiant and clear,
Chasing away, all darkness and fear.
King of Nations, uniting us all,
In His love, we stand tall.
Emmanuel, God with us, here to stay,
In our hearts, every day.
So remember these names, in this Advent season,
For they tell of Christ, and His glorious reason.
