Φώς ιλαρόν

Sunset this evening, viewed from my office at home

Φώς ιλαρόν
αγίας δόξης αθανάτου Πατρός,
ουρανίου, αγίου,
μάκαρος, Ιησού Χριστέ,
ελθόντες επί τήν ηλίου δύσιν,
ιδόντες φώς εσπερινόν,
υμνούμεν Πατέρα, Υιόν,
καί άγιον Πνεύμα, Θεόν,
Αξιόν σε εν πάσι καιροίς
υμνείσθαι φωναίς αισίαις,
Υιέ Θεού, ζωήν ο διδούς,
διό ο κόσμος σέ δοξάζει.
O gracious Light,
pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!
Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.
