Original text and translations

Church Slavonic text Свете тихий святыя славы, Безсмертнаго, Отца Небеснаго, Святаго Блаженнаго, Иисусе Христе! Пришедше на запад солнца, видевше свет вечерний, поем Отца, Сына и Святаго Духа, Бога. Достоин еси во вся времена пет быти гласы преподобными, Сыне Божий, живот даяй, темже мир Тя славит!

English translation O joyful light of the holy glory of the im­mortal Father, the heavenly, holy, blessed Jesus Christ. Now that we have reached the setting of the sun and behold the evening light, we sing to God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is fitting at all times to praise you with cheerful voices, O Son of God, the Giver of life. Behold, the world sings your glory.
