Song of the Day

O come, King of the Gentiles and their desired One, the Cornerstone that makes both one; Come, and deliver man, whom You formed out of the dust of the earth.

Rejoice !  Rejoice!  Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!

Veni, Veni, Emmanuel by L'Accorche-Choeur, Ensemble vocal Fribourg:

Veni, Veni Emmanuel is a synthesis of the great "O Antiphons" that are used for Vespers during the octave before Christmas (Dec. 17-23).

These antiphons are of ancient origin and date back to at least the ninth century.
