The text:
O Schlüssel Davids,
Zepter des Hauses Israel,
du öffnest, und niemand kann schließen,
du schließt, und keine Macht vermag zu öffnen:
o komm und öffne den Kerker der Finsternis
und die Fessel des Todes.
und die Fessel des Todes.
An English translation:
O Key of David,
sceptre of the House of Israel;
you open and no one can shut;
you shut and no power is able to open:
Come and open the dungeon of darkness
and the chains of death.
(Antiphon for Magnificat, 20 December – O Clavis David cf. Isaiah 22.22; 42.7)
sceptre of the House of Israel;
you open and no one can shut;
you shut and no power is able to open:
Come and open the dungeon of darkness
and the chains of death.
