The ‘O’ Antiphons; "King"

BODY

O King whom all the peoples desire, you are the cornerstone which makes all one. O come and save man whom you made from clay.

Each Antiphon is broader and more urgent than that which procedes it.

This, the second to last, is emphasized by its reference to the gentiles, effectively enclosing all of the people of the world in the prayer.
