The Phos Hilaron is one of the oldest existing hymn-texts in Christendom, and it remains an integral part of Vespers and Evening Prayer services in liturgical churches. Katie Kring's new setting is in the original Greek, albeit with modern pronunciation.

Light gladsome of the holy glory of the Immortal Father, the Heavenly, the Holy, the Blessed, O Jesus Christ, having come upon the setting of the sun,
