Phos hilaron (O Gracious Light)

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.

O Gracious Light: a two-minute prayer from memory in the midst of a quiet moment in a busy household

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
and in all places
To be praised by faithful people
O Son of God
O Giver of Life
and to be glorified in all the worlds.

Amen
