As I contemplate LENT...

Phos Hilaron

(Song of Light)

Hail Gladdening Light

Of His pure glory poured

Who is the Immortal Father, Heavenly blest

Holiest of Holies, Jesus Christ our Lord

Now we are come to the sun's hour of rest

The lights of evening round us shine

We hymn the Father,

Son and Holy Spirit divine

Worthiest art thou, at all times to be sung

With undefiled tongue

Son of our God, Giver of life alone

Therefore in all the world

Thy glories Lord

Thine own

verse: an ancient Greek canticle
