“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined.” Isaiah 9:2.
- O Oriens,
- splendor lucis aeternae, et sol justitiae:
- veni, et illumina sedentes in tenebris, et umbra mortis
- O Rising Sun,
- splendour of light eternal and sun of righteousness:
- Come and enlighten those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
- From “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”
- O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
- Our spirits by Thine advent here;
- Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
- And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
