Rise 

up, 

O 

Lord,  

and 

help 

us; save us for the sake of your steadfast love,

                        O Adonai, & Leader 

                             of the house of David, 

                         you appeared in the bush to

                     Moses in a flame of fire, & gave 

             him & gave him the law on Sinai: Come &

     redeem us with an outstretched arm.O Antiphon 12/18
