Phos Hilaron – Ancient Byzantine Chant | O Gladsome Light in Greek

🕯️ Phos Hilaron (Φῶς Ἱλαρόν) — O Gladsome Light — is one of the most ancient Christian hymns still sung today, traditionally associated with evening prayer and the lighting of the lamps. Sung in its original Greek, this ancient Byzantine chant carries the listener into the stillness of early Christian worship. Deep male monastic voices, slow sacred melody, resonant drones, and the distant acoustics of stone create an atmosphere for prayer, contemplation, meditation, and quiet reflection. 🙏 Phos Hilaron — Φῶς Ἱλαρόν Φῶς ἱλαρὸν ἁγίας δόξης O Gladsome Light of holy glory ἀθανάτου Πατρός, of the immortal Father, οὐρανίου, ἁγίου, μάκαρος, heavenly, holy, blessed, Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ. O Jesus Christ. ἐλθόντες ἐπὶ τὴν ἡλίου δύσιν, Having come to the setting of the sun, ἰδόντες φῶς ἑσπερινόν, and having beheld the evening light, ὑμνοῦμεν Πατέρα, Υἱόν, we praise the Father, the Son, καὶ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα, Θεόν. and the Holy Spirit, God. Ἄξιόν σε ἐν πᾶσι καιροῖς It is fitting at all times ὑμνεῖσθαι φωναῖς αἰσίαις, to praise You with joyful voices, Υἱὲ Θεοῦ, ζωὴν ὁ διδούς· O Son of God, Giver of life; διὸ ὁ κόσμος σὲ δοξάζει. therefore the world glorifies You. ⛪ Voices of the Monastery Ancient voices.
