22 December is the sixth day of the Great #OAntiphons:
O Rex Gentium (chant with neumes)
O Rex Gentium, et desideratus earum,
lapisque angularis, qui facis utraque unum:
veni, et salva hominem,
quem de limo formasti.
Literally:
O King of the nations, and their desire,
and cornerstone who make each [into] one,
come, and save humanity
whom you have fashioned from mud.
in the Household Book of Blessings and Prayers:
O King of all nations and keystone of the Church:
come and save man, whom you formed from the dust!
in “Veni Emmanuel”:
Veni, Veni, Rex Gentium,
Veni, Redemptor omnium,
Ut salves tuos famulos
Peccati sibi conscios.
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
nascetur pro te, Israel.
in “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”:
O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease;
Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
