O Adonai, et Dux domus Israel,
qui Moysi in igne flammae rubi apparuisti,
et ei in Sina legem dedisti:
veni ad redimendum nos in brachio extento.
O Adonai, and leader of the House of Israel,
who appeared to Moses in the fire of the burning bush
and gave him the law on Sinai:
Come and redeem us with an outstretched arm.
This text references Isaiah 11:4-5 and Isaiah 33:22
Listen Here to an English translation of O Adonai
I forgot to include my sources for yesterday’s text, so I will put
them here. CatholicEducation.org has a good article and so does
Wikipedia, and I originally got this idea from the introduction to
Advent for Choirs
