Φώς ίλαρòν.

O GLADSOME light, O grace
Of God the Father's face,
The eternal splendour wearing;
Celestial, holy, blest,
Our Saviour Jesus Christ,
Joyful in thine appearing.

2 Now, ere day fadeth quite,
We see the evening light,
Our wonted hymn outpouring;
Father of might unknown,
Thee, his incarnate Son,
And Holy Spirit adoring.

3. To thee of right belongs
All praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, Lifeiver;
Thee, therefore, O Most High,
The world doth glorify,
And shall exalt for ever.
