1	Hail, gladdening Light, of his pure glory poured, Who is the immortal Father, heavenly, blest, Holiest of Holies, Jesus Christ our Lord.

59 D A SONG OF THE LIGHT Phos hilaron – Metrical version
1	O gladsome light, O grace Of God the Father’s face, The eternal splendour wearing; Celestial, holy, blest, Our Saviour Jesus Christ, Joyful in your appearing.
2	As day fades into night, We see the evening light, Our hymn of praise outpouring: Father of might unknown, Christ, his incarnate Son, and Holy Spirit, adoring.
3	To you of right belongs All praise of holy songs, O Son of God, Lifegiver; You, therefore, O Most High, The world will glorify, And shall exalt for ever.

59 E A SONG OF THE LIGHT Phos hilaron – Metrical version
	Light of the world, in grace and beauty, Mirror of God’s eternal face, Transparent flame of love’s free duty, You bring salvation to our race. Now, as we see the lights of evening, We raise our voice in hymns of praise; Worthy are you of endless blessing, Sun of our night, lamp of our days.
