The Great "O" Antiphons

December 17
O Wisdom, proceeding from the mouth
of the Most High, pervading and
permeating all creation, mightily
ordering all things:
Come and teach us the way
of prudence.

These seven ancient antiphons are the series upon which the hymn, "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" is based upon. They were used at Vespers during the last Seven days of Advent. They are found in the Lutheran Service Book 357. Thank you to Pastor Weedon for the idea.
