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. Свете тихий, святыя славы достоин еси пет быти гласы преподобными, Свете тихий, святыя славы достоин еси во вся времена, Сыне Божий, живот даяй: темже мир Тя славит. Поем Отца, Сына и Святаго Духа, Бога.

English translation Gentle light, immortal glory of our holy Father in heaven, Holy, blessed, Jesus Christ! Those who come from the sunset, have seen the evening light. Gentle light, holy glory, worthy to be sung by undefiled voices. Gentle light, holy glory, You are worthy at all times, Son of God, who gives life: the whole world glorifies You. Sing to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, God. Translation by Barry Johnston
