O Clavis David

Posted by Fr. Aquinas on 20 Dec 2009 | Tagged as: Liturgical Feasts

O Clavis David,
et sceptrum domus Israel;
qui aperis, et nemo claudit;
claudis, et nemo aperit:
veni, et educ vinctum de domo carceris,
sedentem in tenebris, et umbra mortis.

O Key of David
and sceptre of the House of Israel;
you open and no one can shut;
you shut and no one can open:
Come and lead the prisoners from the prison,
those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
