Now for the next O Antiphon, which I should have posted the 18th....

O Adonai: “O sacred Lord of ancient Israel, who showed yourself to Moses in the burning bush, who gave him the holy law on Sinai mountain: come, stretch out your mighty hand to set us free.” Isaiah had prophesied, “But He shall judge the poor with justice, and decide aright for the land’s afflicted. He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. Justice shall be the band around his waist, and faithfulness a belt upon his hips.” (Isaiah 11:4-5); and “Indeed the Lord will be there with us, majestic; yes the Lord our judge, the Lord our lawgiver, the Lord our king, he it is who will save us.” (33:22).

O Adonai to the tune of “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” (with apologies to the Beatles)

Oh yeah, Lord
Sacred Lord (doo doo doo doo doo)
Of ancient Israel
You had shown
Yourself to Moses (doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Inside the burning bush
O Adonai, O Adonai
O Adonai our God.

Oh yeah, Lord
You gave the law (doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Up there on Mt. Sinai
Stretch your hand
Your holy hand (doo doo doo doo doo doo)
And set your captives free
O Adonai, O Adonai
O Adonai our God.

Isaiah said the poor would get justice and truth
Afflicted poor would get his mercy
And his love
And his love
And his love!

Oh yeah, Lord
Strike the ruthless (doo doo doo doo doo doo)
With the rod of your mouth
And then, slay,
Slay the wicked (doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Oh, with your lips of truth
O Adonai, O Adonai
O Adonai our God.

Oh yeah, Lord
Justice and faith (doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Will be our holy garb
Our king, judge and lawgi-iver (doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Will be our salvation!
O Adonai, O Adonai
O Adonai our God.
