Hymns Of The Greek Church

By John Brownlie

Thou one Begotten Son,

tr., John Brownlie

6,6,8,6

ho monogenes Huios kai Logos tou theou

(From the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom)

I

Thou one Begotten Son,

Eternal Word adored,

Immortal while the ages run,

And our Almighty Lord;

II

To bring Salvation nigh,

To vanquish death and sin,

Thou didst in cruel anguish die,

And life for mortals win.

III

Save us, O Christ our God,

Save by Thy Cross, we pray;

Thou who didst bear the Father's rod,

And death by dying slay.

IV

Thou art the Eternal Son,

One in the glorious Three;

Co-equal praise while ages run

Shall ever rise to thee.
