The last antiphon is actually the first verse of the hymn, O Come
Emmanuel. Since today is the last day of the sequence, I’ve also
posted the whole sequence (but sung with this verse last).
Wikipedia says that "The first letters of the titles taken
backwards form a Latin acrostic of "Ero Cras" which translates to
"Tomorrow, I will come", mirroring the theme of the antiphons."
O Emmanuel
O Rex Gentilum
O Oriens
O Clavis David
O Adonai
O Sapienta
The text in Latin of this verse is:
O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster,
exspectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum:
veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.
O Emmanuel, our king and our lawgiver,
the hope of the nations and their Saviour:
Come and save us, O Lord our God.
Listen Here to just this verse.
