Phos hilarion

Tranquil Light, of the holy glory of the immortal, heavenly holy, blessed Father, O Jesus Christ: as we come upon the sunset, as we see the evening light, we sing to God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. At all times You are worthy of being hymned by joyful voices; O Son of God, You are the Giver of Life. For this the whole world glorifies You!
