Apolutikion

ἡ γέννησίς σου Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν

I Thy Birth upon our world hath given, O Christ, the truth from highest heaven; And they who served the stars of night, Are taught to own a truer Light. Led by the stars' ethereal sheen, The Sun of is seen; And night that in their bosom dwells, The Dayspring from on high dispels.
