HYMN OF THE FEAST OF PENTECOST (PLAGIAL OF THE 4TH TONE)
Ευλογητός εί Χριστέ ο Θεός ημών, ο πανσόφους, τούς αλιείς αναδείξας, καταπέμψας αυτοίς τό Πνεύμα τό Άγιον, καί δι’αυτών, τήν οικουμένην σαγηνεύσας, Φιλάνθρωπε δόξα Σοι.
Blessed are You,/ O Christ our God,/ who did render,/ the fishermen all-wise,/ by sending down upon them the Holy Spirit,/ and through them,/ you drew the world in Your nets/, glory to You/ O Friend of man.

When the Most High came down and confounded tongues of men (Babel), He divided the Nations. When He dispensed the Tongues of Fire, He called all to unity, and with one voice we glorify the Most Holy Spirit. - Translation by Narthex Press
