Gregory of Nazianzus

tr., John Brownlie

6,6,8,6

AN EVENING HYMN

Σὲ καὶ νῦν εὐλογοῦμεν

I

Now at this evening hour,

O Thou, my Christ, to Thee,

Thou Word of God, Eternal Light,

All grateful praises be.

II

From Thee the Spirit comes,

Third beam of peerless light,

And in Thyself one glorious orb

The triple rays unite.

III

Thy word and wisdom Thou

To lighten man hast given,

That he the splendour might reflect

That shines superb in heaven;

IV

And having light within,

Might see Thine image bright,

And daily rise, till he himself

Is altogether light.
