O Come, O Come, Emmanuel!

Today's O Antiphon is the familiar, O come, O come, Emmanuel of Advent.

“O Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations, Savior of all people, come and set us free, Lord our God.” Isaiah had prophesied, “The Lord himself will give you this sign: the Virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel.”
