Original Ancient Text
Φῶσ ἱ λαρὸν ἁγίασ δόξθσ ἀθανάτου Πατρόσ,
οὐρανίου, ἁγίου, μάκαροσ, Ἰ θςοῦ Χριςτζ,
ἐλθόντεσ ἐπὶ τὴν ἡλίου δφςιν, ἰ δόντεσ φῶσ ἑςπερινόν,
ὑμνοῦμεν Πατζρα, Υἱ όν, καὶ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα, Θεόν.
Ἄξιόν ςε ἐν πᾶςι καιροῖ σ ὑμνεῖ ςθαι φωναῖ σ αἰ ςίαισ,
Υἱ ὲ Θεοῦ, ηωὴν ὁ διδοφσ· διὸ ὁ κόςμοσ ςὲ δοξάηει.

Verbatim translation
O 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, having seen the light of the evening,
we praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: God.
All accidentals (both traditional and microtonal)
