Light of the World
(Phos hilaron)
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.
This is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ruth. The photo is all I can take credit for. The prayer is often included in Evening Prayer at The Daily Office.
DeleteThe photo is enough! :-)
