Hymns of the Greek Church

tr. Brownlie, 1900

Chapter 19

φῶς ἱλαρὸν ἁγίας δόξης

By Athenogenes, 296 A.D.

Light serene of holy glory
From the Immortal Father poured,
Holy Thou, O Blessed Jesus,
Holy, Blessed, Christ the Lord.

Now we see the sun descending,
Now declines the evening light,
And in hymns we praise the Father,
Son and Spirit, God of Might.

Worthy of unending praises,
Christ the Son of God art Thou;
For Thy gift of life eternal,
See the world adores Thee now.
