Detail

Φως Ιλαρόν

δεσπόζον της αδημονούσης υπάρξεως

προβάλλον εκ του ύψους των ουρανών

διασχίζον νέφη και αιώνας άλγους

φωτίζον  άλαλα όντα

και κεφαλάς ευλαβικάς

καθήμενον επί ευεργετηθέντων σωμάτων

και εγερθεισών ελπίδων.

Φως Ιλαρόν

κραταιόν και κυβερνών

τα ερέβη,

πατάσσεις τους δράκοντες 

των εβδελυγμένων πνευμάτων

και περιφυλάττεις

την θέρμην της Ζωής.
