Antiphon:
O Root of Jesse, standing as an ensign before the peoples,
before whom all kings are mute,
to whom the nations will do | homage:
Come quickly to de- | liver us.
Hymn Verse:
O come, Thou Branch of Jesse's tree,
Free them from Satan's tyranny
That trust Thy mighty pow'r to save,
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave.
