The O Antiphon for December 19:
O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse)
Isaiah 11:1-16 / Romans 15:8-13 / Revelation 5:1-5
O Radix Jesse,
qui stas in signum populorum,
super quem continebunt reges os suum,
quem Gentes deprecabuntur:
veni ad liberandum nos,
jam noli tardare.
O Root of Jesse,
standing as an ensign before the peoples,
before whom all kings are mute,
to whom the nations will do homage;
Come quickly to deliver us.
