The ancient Christian hymn "O Gladsome Light" (Greek: "Phos Hilarion") at the Small Entrance in the Vesperal Divine Liturgy for the Annunciation, March 24, 2010.
O Gladsome Light of the holy glory
Of the immortal Father;
The heavenly, the holy, blessed Jesus Christ.
Now that we are come to the setting of the sun
And behold the light of evening,
we hymn thee, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: God.
It is meet and right;
At all times thou shouldst be magnified,
O Son of God and giver of light.
Wherefore, the whole world glorifies thee.
