21 December: Psalm cvi. 10
O Oriens,
splendor lucis æternæ,
et sol justitiæ;
veni et illumina sedentes in tenebris,
et umbra mortis.
O Dawn of The East,
brightness of The Light Eternal,
and Sun of Justice;
come and enlighten them that sit in darkness,
and in the shadow of death.
Versicle. 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 ".

Absolutely beautiful rendition “O Oriens” antiphon by the Cantate Regensburg.
ReplyDeleteThank You, Dante Peregrinus, for your welcome Comment. Indeed, this is a wonderful rendition by Cantate Regensburg.
DeleteHow lucky we are to have the magnificent “Great O Antiphons” as a suitable prelude to the forthcoming Feast of Our Lord. One wonders how many congregations in Novus Ordo Churches will hear these beautiful Antiphons.
