The Great 'O' Antiphons

The Great 'O' Antiphons are the Antiphons on the Magnificat at Vespers the last seven days of Advent (17-23 December). They are also from whence the verses of 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel' are taken. On each of the seven days, I shall post the appropriate Antiphon in Latin and English, and the corresponding stanza of the hymn.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
