Yes - and there are five for Advent! One for each of the First, Second, and Fourth Sundays, and two for the Third Sunday (yes, the one for Year B is different from the one for Years A and C). They follow the responsorial pattern as prescribed in the Gregorian Missal, using the last lines as a verse and the first lines as the antiphon. Additional verses are added for an optional extension.
While the antiphons for all the Graduals below are metrical, all the verses are in chant-style Psalm tones.
First Sunday:
THOSE WHO WAIT FOR YOU, O LORD - Music by Brian Michael Page, 1995 (verses) and 2005 (antiphon).
Second Sunday:
OUT OF SION HIS BEAUTY SHINES - Music by Brian Michael Page, 2005.

Third Sunday:
(Years A and C) O LORD, ENTHRONED UPON THE CHERUBIM - Music by Brian Michael Page, 1995 (verses) and 2005 (antiphon). Verses are in the same tone as that found in People of Sion
(Year B) THERE WAS A MAN SENT FORTH FROM GOD - Music by Brian Michael Page, 1995 (verses) and 2005 (antiphon). Verses are in the same tone as that found in Those Who Wait for You, O Lord, above. In addition to the required verse, three verses from Psalm 25 are included.
Fourth Sunday:
THE LORD IS NEAR TO ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM - Music by Brian Michael Page, 1991 (verses) and 2005 (antiphon).
