Phos Hilarion: O brightness of the immortal Father's face
Most holy, heavenly, blest,
Lord Jesus Christ, in whom his truth and grace
Are visibly expressed:
Greek, before 370; translated by Edward W. Eddis, 1864
O brightness of the immortal Father's face,Most holy, heavenly, blest,
Lord Jesus Christ, in whom his truth and grace
Are visibly expressed:
2. The sun is sinking now, and one by one
The lamps of evening shine;
We hymn the eternal Father, and the Son,
And Holy Ghost divine.
3. Worthy art thou at all times to receive
Our hallowed praises, Lord.
O Son of God, be thou, in whom we live,
Through all the world adored.
