O Wisdom,
proceeding from the mouth of the Most High,
pervading and permeating all creation,
mightily ordering all things:
Come and teach us
the way of prudence.

O Adonai and ruler of the house of Israel,
who appeared to Moses
in the burning bush
and gave him the Law on Sinai:
Come with an outstretched arm
and redeem us.
December 19
O Root of Jesse, standing as an ensign
before the peoples,
before whom all kings are mute,
to whom the nations will do homage:
Come quickly to deliver us.
December 20
O Key of David and scepter of the house of Israel,
you open and no one can close,
you close and no one can open:
Come and rescue the prisoners who are in darkness
and the shadow of death.
December 21
O Dayspring, splendor of light everlasting,
Come and enlighten those who sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death.
December 22
O King of the nations,
the ruler they long for,
the cornerstone uniting all people:
Come and save us all,
whom you formed out of clay.
December 23
O Emmanuel, our king and our lawgiver,
the annointed of the nations and their Savior:
Come and save us, O Lord our God.
