Antiphon VI:O Rex Gentium (King of the Nations)

Light Manifest

Theresa Walker

O Ruler of all the nations,

the only joy of every human heart,
O Keystone of the might arch of mankind
Come and save the creature you fashioned from the dust.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called:

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 (ESV)

He will judge between the nations

and will settle disputes for many peoples.

They will beat their swords into plowshares

and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nation will not take up sword against nation,

nor will they train for war anymore.
Isaiah 2:4 (ESV)
