Today\u2019s O Antiphon relates directly to the experience of the Solstice, especially \u2014 but perhaps not exclusively \u2014 north of the equator.<\/p>\n<p><em>O Oriens!<\/em> The antiphon on the Magnificat for today\u2019s Vespers conjures images not of the evening, but of the morning. As a noun, today\u2019s \u201cO\u201d is Daybreak, Dawn, Sunrise and Morning Star; as a verbal participle it is rising, originating, creating and birthing. Both grammatical forms suggest powerful imagery as we approach the feast of the Nativity of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biblical Foundations<\/strong><br \/>\nAll of the phrases in today\u2019s antiphon are historically rooted in scripture, though for the invocation <em>O Oriens,<\/em> critical biblical scholarship invites us to re-think its biblical associations. One often sees Zechariah 6:12 cited as a source for this antiphon. In the \u201cOld&#8221; Vulgate Bible of Saint Jerome, that text reads: <em>et loqueris ad eum dicens haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens <strong>ecce vir Oriens nomen eius et subter eum orietur<\/strong> et aedificabit templum Domino,<\/em> which the Douay-Rheims translation more-or-less accurately renders, \u201cAnd thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: Behold a man, <strong>The Orient [East, Dawning] is his name: and under him shall he spring up,<\/strong> and shall build a temple to the Lord.\u201d The <em>Nova Vulgata,<\/em> however, supplies the text <em>et loqueris ad eum dicens: Haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens: <strong>Ecce vir, Germen nomen eius; et in loco suo aliquid germinabit<\/strong> et aedificabit templum Domini.<\/em> Modern English bibles like the New Revised Standard Version, following critical readings of the Hebrew text, do similarly: \u201cThus says the Lord of hosts: <strong>Here is a man whose name is Branch: for he shall branch out in his place,<\/strong> and he shall build the temple of the Lord.\u201d So while the composer(s) of the antiphon undoubtedly had the older text in mind, this reference to \u201cBranch\u201d suggests that this text might better be related in the future to the antiphon for December 19, <em>O Radix Iesse.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, the less disputable and more relevant pericope comes from within the Benedictus, the Morning Canticle, at Luke 1:78 \u2014<\/p>\n<p>By the tender mercy of our God,<br \/>\nthe dawn from on high will break upon us. . .<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Splendor of Eternal Light&#8221; derives from the Latin of Hebrews 1:3; &#8220;Sun of Justice&#8221; from Malachi 4:2; and the reference in the petition to \u201cthose that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death\u201d is familiar also from the Benedictus at Luke 1:79, and also from Isaiah 9:2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Turning Point in the Natural Year<\/strong><br \/>\nFor those who for whom the past few weeks have marked the gradual decrease in daylight hours, today\u2019s Solstice comes as a turning point. It is the beginning of the slow march toward Springtime and Easter. Today\u2019s antiphon, situated on the Solstice, is a liturgical recognition of the change of season: the dawning of a new day, the gradual increasing of the daylight hours, the movement from the \u201cshadow of death\u201d toward the light of life.<\/p>\n<p>For those in the Southern Hemisphere, of course, the slow march toward winter begins again today. Today&#8217;s antiphon comes as a promise that, however dark earths seasons may become, light will indeed increase again in time, the cycle repeating itself through the changing seasons, until that &#8220;dawn from on high will break upon us&#8221; once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>This antiphon also suggests a challenge, by way of a certain anticipated eschatology. Note the connection between the Dawning or Daybreak and the Sun of Justice \u2014 \u201cthe sun of righteousness&#8221; that &#8220;shall rise, with healing in its wings\u201d (Mal 4:2). The connection between the coming of the light and the power of healing (here meaning the sort of healing that comes with the Reign of God \u2014 wholeness, peace and security, well-being) is found elsewhere in Scripture. Its revelation follows upon our doing of justice, our participation in the making the Reign of God a present reality for the poor, the oppressed, the marginalized and the outcast:<\/p>\n<p>Is not this the fast that I choose:<br \/>\nto loose the bonds of injustice,<br \/>\nto undo the thongs of the yoke,<br \/>\nto let the oppressed go free,<br \/>\nand to break every yoke?<br \/>\nIs it not to share your bread with the hungry,<br \/>\nand bring the homeless poor into your house;<br \/>\nwhen you see the naked, to cover them,<br \/>\nand not to hide yourself from your own kin?<br \/>\n<strong>Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,<br \/>\nand your healing shall spring up quickly;<\/strong><br \/>\nyour vindicator shall go before you,<br \/>\nthe glory of the Lord shall be your rearguard.<br \/>\n(Isaiah 58:6-8, NRSV)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Something to Sing About<\/strong><br \/>\nIn addition to their use as the Magnificat Antiphons at Vespers, the O Antiphons have been a great stimulus to poets and hymnographers through the centuries. These familiar lines from Philip Nicolai\u2019s <em>Wie sch\u00f6n leuchtet der Morgenstern,<\/em> often sung as an Epiphany hymn, capitalize on the scriptures behind both <em>O Oriens<\/em> and <em>O Radix Iesse:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>O Morning Star, how fair and bright!<br \/>\nThou beamest forth in truth and light,<br \/>\nO Sovereign meek and lowly!<br \/>\nThou Root of Jesse, David\u2019s Son,<br \/>\nMy Lord and Master, Thou hast won<br \/>\nMy heart to serve Thee solely!<br \/>\nThou art holy,<br \/>\nFair and glorious, all victorious, rich in blessing<br \/>\nRule and might over all possessing.<br \/>\n(English by Catherine Winkworth, Chorale Book for England, 1863.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Henry Burton, writing in 1900, penned the Advent Hymn \u201cBreak Day of God, Oh Break,\u201d with references to both the Morning Star and the Sun of Righteousness:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Break, day of God, Oh break!<br \/>\nThe night has lingered long;<br \/>\nOur hearts with sighing wake,<br \/>\nWe weep for sin and wrong:<br \/>\nO Bright and Morning Star, draw near;<br \/>\nO Sun of Righteousness, appear.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Charles Wesley\u2019s 1740 <em>Hymns and Spiritual Songs<\/em> includes these famous lines, often sung at Morning Prayer throughout the year:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Christ, whose glory fills the skies,<br \/>\nChrist, the true, the only Light,<br \/>\nSun of Righteousness, arise,<br \/>\nTriumph o\u2019er the shades of night;<br \/>\nDayspring from on high, be near;<br \/>\nDay-star, in my heart appear.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Finally, Christian von Rosenroth\u2019s 1664 hymn, <em>Morgen glanz der Ewigkeit,<\/em> here in the masterful translation of Catherine Winkworth, seems very much like an extended meditation on <em>O Oriens:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dayspring of eternity!<br \/>\nHide no more Thy radiant dawning!<br \/>\nLight from light\u2019s exhaustless sea,<br \/>\nShine on us afresh this morning!<br \/>\nAnd dispel with glorious might<br \/>\nAll our night.<\/p>\n<p>[. . .]<\/p>\n<p>Through this dark and tearful place<br \/>\nNever be Thy light denied us.<br \/>\nO Thou glorious Sun of grace,<br \/>\nTo yon world of gladness guide us,<br \/>\nWhen to joys that never end<br \/>\nWe ascend!<\/p>\n<p>Ah!
