I look from afar
I look from afar, and
lo, I see the power of God coming, and a cloud covering the whole earth.
Go ye out to meet him and say: Tell us, art thou he that should come to
reign over thy people Israel? High and low, rich and poor, one with
another. Hear, O thou shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a
sheep. Stir up thy strength, O Lord, and come to reign over thy people
Israel. Glory be… (Advent antiphon)
