6,6,8,6 Se kai nun eulogoumen Evening Now at this evening hour, O Thou, my Christ, to Thee, Thou Word of God, Eternal Light, All grateful praises be. From Thee the Spirit comes, Third beam of peerless light, And in Thyself one glorious orb The triple rays unite. Thy word and wisdom Thou To lighten man hast given, That he the splendour might reflect That shines superb in heaven; And having light within, Might see Thine image bright, And daily rise, till he himself Is altogether light. |
