Text:
"O Light gladsome of the holy glory of the immortal Father,
heavenly, holy, blessed Jesus Christ.
Now we have come to the setting of the sun
and behold the light of evening.
We praise God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
For it is right at all times to worship Thee with voices of praise,
O Son of God and Giver of Life,
therefore all the world glorifies Thee!"
