18 December is the second day of the Great O Antiphons
O Adonai (chant with neumes)
O Adonai, et Dux domus Israel,
qui Moysi in igne flammae rubi apparuisti,
et ei in Sina legem dedisti:
veni ad redimendum nos in brachio extento.
Literally:
O Adonai, and ruler of the House of Israel,
who appeared to Moses in the fire of the burning bush
and gave him the law on Sinai,
come to redeem us with outstretched arm.
in the Household Book of Blessings and Prayers:
O Leader of the House of Israel,
giver of the Law to Moses on Sinai:
come to rescue us with your mighty power!
in “Veni Emmanuel”:
Veni, veni Adonai!
Qui populo in Sinai
Legem dedisti vertice,
In maiestate gloriae.
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
nascetur pro te, Israel.
in “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”:
O come, Adonai, Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height,
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
