the O Antiphons: the fourth night

O Clavis David:

"O Key of David, O royal power of Israel controlling at your will the gate of Heaven: Come, break down the prison walls of death for those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death; and lead your captive people into freedom."

(Crossing of the Red Sea, by Cosimo Roselli)

  1. We've never done the O' antiphones but I love reading about it and think I should educate myself more on this for next Advent!

  2. I'm not terribly acquainted with them myself, but they're so beautiful I thought I'd put them up.
