Author: Athenogenes ; Mepkin Abbey Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 John 5:6-12 First Line: Now as we come to the setting of the sun Lyrics: Refrain:
O joyous light of glory,
eternal splendor of the Father,
holy blessed Son, Jesus Christ!
1 Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
the evening lamp is lit;
we sing to the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. [Refrain]
2 At all times you are worthy to be praised
with lips undefiled;
O Son of God, giver of life,
all creation sings your glory. [Refrain]
3 Let my prayer, O Lord, arise
before you like incense,
and the raising of my hands
be as an evening sacrifice. [Refrain]
4 Therefore in celebrating your glory,
we proclaim the love of the Father,
in the light of the Spirit,
burning seal which makes you one! Topics: Daily Prayer Evening; Time Used With Tune: JOYEUSE LUMIERE Text Sources: Phos Hilaron
