IV. Evening Hymn (O Gladsome Light)歌词完整版
EVENING HYMN
O gladsome Light, O Grace
Of God the Father’s face,
The eternal splendour wearing;
Celestial, holy, blest,
Our Saviour, Jesus Christ,
Joyful in Thine appearing;
Now, ere day fadeth quite,
We see the evening light,
Our wonted hymn outpouring;
Father of might unknown,
Thee, His incarnate Son,
And Holy Spirit adoring.
To Thee of right belongs
All praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, Life giver;
Thee, therefore, O Most High,
The world doth glorify,
And shall exalt for ever.
Phos Hilarion, unknown author, 3rd or 4th century.
Translated from Greek by Robert Bridges 1844-1930
