HYMN
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
Oh, come O Rod of Jesse's stem
From every foe deliver them
That trust your mighty power to save;
Bring them in victory through the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind;
Oh, bid our sad divisions cease
And be yourself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.

Ant. 1 The Lord, the mighty God, will come forth from Zion to set his people free.
The prayer of the poor man in distress
Blessed be God who comforts us in all our trials (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4).
Turn your ear, O Lord, and give answer
for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am faithful:
save the servant who trusts in you.https://divineoffice.org/1217-adv-w03-wed-mp/?prayer=MorningPrayer&date=20251217&episode=3.
