O Rex Gentium: “O King of all the nations, the only joy of every human heart; O Keystone of the mighty arch of man, come and save the creature you fashioned from the dust.” Isaiah had prophesied, “For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:5), and “He shall judge between the nations, and impose terms on many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again.” (2:4) .


O Rex Gentium, to the tune of “I can’t help Falling in Love with You” (with apologies to Elvis)

King of all, joy of human hearts
But I can’t help loving the Son of God
Arch of Man
Save us from the dust
Oh, I can’t help loving the Son of God

A child is born to us
Wonder-Counselor
Father and Prince of Peace
He shall beat swords into plowshares
So I can’t help loving the Son of God

A child is born to us
Wonder-Counselor
Father and Prince of Peace
He shall beat swords into plowshares
So I can’t help loving the Son of God
So I can’t help loving the Son of God
