The “O Antiphons” are the antiphons recited or chanted preceding the
Vespers Gospel Canticle (the Magnificat) used in the Divine Office in
the seven days (December 17-23) immediately preceding the Solemnity of
Christmas.
Dec. 21:
O Oriens,
splendor lucis aeternae, et sol justitiae:
veni, et illumina sedentes in tenebris,
et umbra mortis.
O Radiant Dawn,
splendor of eternal light, sun of justice:
Come, shine on those who dwell in darkness
and the shadow of death.
