O King Divine

 The internet is acting up today so no pictures. Nor did I actually manage to hear much of Vytautas Miškinis version of O Rex Gentium, the O-antiphon for today, beautifully (I am sure) sung by the Vilnius state choir.


We go on prepairing for Christmas by prayer;

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment
 In which the Son of God was born
Of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight,
in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold.
In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee,
O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires,
[mention your request here]
through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ,
and of His Blessed Mother. Amen.

Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory be.
