O Sapientia

As Advent draws to its end, we begin the “O” antiphons at Vespers.

These days, I’m praying the Office on the train, so no chant for us any more. Today being my birthday, I went home early, and so prayed Vespers around 4:00PM.

Hopefully some day we can chant Vespers again in a parish (or at least chapel) setting. But for now, enjoy the Dominicans.

O Sapiéntia, quæ ex ore Altíssimi prodiísti,
attíngens a fine usque ad finem,
fórtiter suavitérque dispónens ómnia:
veni ad docóndum nos viam prudéntiæ.

Englished:

O Wisdom, coming forth from the mouth of the Most High,
reaching from one end to the other mightily,
and sweetly ordering all things:
Come and teach us the way of prudence.
