Great Doxology chanted for the feast of Apostle Luke

What the video says

The speaker chants the Great Doxology, opening with the English text "Glory be to you who has shown the light" and continuing through the Trinitarian praises. At 0:34 the chant shifts to Greek, citing the biblical canticle from Daniel that calls on the sun, moon, stars, light, darkness, nights, days, and all people to bless the Lord. The final section at 1:39 concludes with a doxology to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The video presents a chant of the Great Doxology recorded on 18 October, the commemoration of the Apostle and Evangelist Luke. The speaker begins in English with the opening line "Glory be to you who has shown the light" and continues with the Trinitarian praises: "Glory in the highest to God, and on earth peace, goodwill among men."

The English section continues with the invocation "O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, who takes away the sin of the world, have mercy on us." At 0:34 the chant shifts to Greek, citing the biblical canticle from Daniel. The Greek verses begin with the refrain "Κύριον υμείτε και υπερυψούτε εις πάντα τους αιώνας. Ευλογείτε ήλιος και σελήνη, άστρα του ουρανού των Κυρίου."

The refrain repeats as the canticle calls on light and darkness, nights and days, all men and Israel to bless the Lord: "Τον Κύριον υμείτε και υπερυψούτε εις πάντα τους αιώνας. Ευλογείτε φως και σκότος, νύκτες και ημέρε τον Κυρίου. Τον Κύριον υμείτε και υπερυψούτε εις πάντα τους αιώνας. Ευλογείτε οι τον άνθρωπον, ευλογείτω Ισραήλ τον Κυρίου. Τον Κύριον υμείτε και υπερυψούτε εις πάντα τους αιώνας."

The final section at 1:39 concludes with a Trinitarian doxology in Greek: "Ευλογούμεν Πατέρα, Υιόν και Άγιον Πνεύμα τον Κύριον. Τον Κύριον υμνούμεν και υπερυψούμενοι εις πάντα τους αιώνας." The recording captures the transition between languages and the structure of the Great Doxology as used in Orthodox worship on the feast of the Evangelist.
