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!
