19 December: Isaias xi. 10.
O Radix Jesse,
qui stas in signum populorum,
super quem continebunt reges os suum,
quem Gentes deprecabuntur:
veni ad liberandum nos,
jam noli tardare.
O Root of Jesse,
who standest for an ensign of the people,
before whom kings shall keep silence,
and unto whom the Gentiles shall make their supplication:
come to deliver us,
and tarry not.
V. Rorate.
"Rorate caeli desuper, et nubes pluant justium . . ."
"Ye heavens, drop down from above, and let the clouds rain down the Just One."
"Rorate caeli desuper, et nubes pluant justium . . ."
