O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster, exspectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum: veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.

(Detail from an Aqua altar card from our set: here,hereandhere.  More of our art here.).

O Rex Gentium, et desideratus earum, lapisque angularis, qui facis utraque unum: veni, et salva hominem,quem de limo formasti.

(Matthew Alderman’s Epiphany illustration from the Revised Roman Missal, 2011, LTP, Chicago.)

O Clavis David, et sceptrum domus Israel; qui aperis, et nemo claudit; claudis, et nemo aperit:veni, et educ vinctum de domo carceris, sedentem in tenebris, et umbra mortis.

(Matthew Alderman,King David Accompanied by Prophesy and Wisdom, private collection, Ohio, 2014.)
