Hymns of the Greek Church ‎#38

38. Thou one Begotten Son

Thou one Begotten Son,
Eternal Word adored,
Immortal while the ages run,
And our Almighty Lord;

To bring Salvation nigh,
To vanquish death and sin,
Thou didst in cruel anguish die,
And life for mortals win.

Save us, O Christ our God,
Save by Thy Cross, we pray;
Thou who didst bear the Father’s rod,
And death by dying slay.

Thou art the Eternal Son,
One in the glorious Three;
Co-equal praise while ages run
Shall ever rise to thee.
