From the clear blue sky--a Christmas hymn

https://youtu.be/g4Og5koL9Pk


 Angelic Chant of Nuns from Camarzani Monastery in Romania. The Song is called "Din Cer Senin" (From the Clear Blue Sky). The Song is enriched by an insight in a men's Monastery in Abkhazia: https://youtu.be/H8N6-QxhEDs

Lyrics: From the Clear Blue Sky (x2) From the clear blue sky, a divine choir Can be heard sweetly singing. (x2) Gifted shepherds appear on the hill Bringing white lambs as gifts. (x2) A star on the horizon watching over the paths, Shining in the distance (x2) Leads the magi with their precious gifts Carried in white bags. (x2) And a frail infant with a holy face Sits quietly smiling. (x2) And His Mother was cradling Him And everbody was joyous. (x2) And the holy sky and this earth Were illuminated by the Infant. (x2) And they became holy and they received God’s grace Those who let Him in. (x2) And us, having seen this, we pray And we kiss His face. (x2) Yearning to devote our lives to Him And to praise Him forever. (x2) From the clear blue sky, a divine choir Can be heard sweetly singing.

Bless the Lord O My Soul



English Translation: Amen. Bless the Lord, O my soul, blessed art Thou, O Lord. O Lord my God, Thou art very great. Blessed art Thou, O Lord. Thou are clothed with honor and majesty. Blessed art Thou, O Lord. The waters stand upon the mountains. Marvelous are Thy works, O Lord The waters flow between the hills. Marvelous are Thy works, O Lord. In wisdom hast Thou made all things. Glory to Thee, O Lord, who hast created all!

O Give Thanks Unto the Lord

Thanksgiving prayer/ Glory to God for all Things




http://www.stnickbyz.com - The Akathist of Thanksgiving, which is also called Glory to God for All Things, is a treasure left to us by the martyrs of the great persecution of the Russian Church under Soviet Communism. It was found in the personal effects of Father Gregory Petrov who died in the Gulag in 1940. It has been traced back to Metropolitan Tryphon, a prominent spiritual father of the Russian Church at the height of that persecution. St. Nicholas Byzantine Catholic Church Barberton, OH - Read by Charles Williams - Charles Williams is a member of St. Nicholas Byzantine Catholic Church.He sings in the choir and is one of our cantors. Charles is a convert to the Catholic faith in the Latin Rite and joined our parish 7 years ago attracted by the Byzantine liturgy and Eastern Christian spirituality.

Tchaikovsky-Hymn of the Cherubim - Liturgy of St John Chrysostom



The sound is better on the bottom video

 Translation

Let us represent the cherubim in mystic harmony, mystic harmony, praise the Father, Son and Spirit, raise our three-fold song, raise our three-fold song, praise the Trinity, praise the Trinity, raise our three-fold song to the Trinity, Let us now cast aside, cast aside, let us cast aside all this earthly life, cast aside, cast aside, cast aside, all this earthly life. Amen. King of all, we may receive God the King, we may receive Him! He who in glory enters in with mighty hosts of angels, with mighty hosts of angels. Alleluia!

In the Dark night a Christmas hymn



I found this music very moving and beautiful .  In the comments on youtube someone put a basic translation:

In the dark night, over Bethlehem, The clear dawn was gone, the earth covered with light. Holy Virgin, Holy Bride, In the den of the poor Son gave birth. Refrain: Sleep, Jesus, Sleep, Little, Sleep, you, star, mine. Your fate, my dear, I sing to you. Gently kissed, covered with a cloth, She put to bed, quietly started the song: You grow up, You, Son, You will become an adult, In the world you will go, My baby. Chorus: Sleep, Jesus ... The love of the Lord and the truth of God You, in a world of faith, will bring your people, The truth will live, the shackles of sin will break But on Calvary, My child will die. Refrain: Sleep Jesus Jesus sleep little baby Sleep, you, my star Your fate, my dear I sing to you ... Sleep Jesus Jesus sleep little baby Sleep, you, my pink blossom And with hope in You The whole world is watching!

Misericordia, Dios mío, por tu bondad, por tu inmensa compasión borra mi culpa; lava del todo mi delito, limpia mi pecado.

Corpus Christi Hymn



Hymn for Corpus Christi written by St. Thomas Aquinas... Translation: Of the glorious Body telling, O my tongue, its mysteries sing, And the Blood, all price excelling, Which the world's eternal King, In a noble womb once dwelling Shed for the world's ransoming. Given for us, descending, Of a Virgin to proceed, Man with man in converse blending, Scattered he the Gospel seed, Till his sojourn drew to ending, Which he closed in wondrous deed. At the last great Supper lying Circled by his brethren's band, Meekly with the law complying, First he finished its command Then, immortal Food supplying, Gave himself with his own hand. Word made Flesh, by word he maketh Very bread his Flesh to be; Man in wine Christ's Blood partaketh: And if senses fail to see, Faith alone the true heart waketh To behold the mystery. Therefore we, before him bending, This great Sacrament revere; Types and shadows have their ending, For the newer rite is here; Faith, our outward sense befriending, Makes the inward vision clear. Glory let us give, and blessing To the Father and the Son; Honour, might, and praise addressing, While eternal ages run; Ever too his love confessing, Who, from both, with both is one. Amen.

Who is like unto thee

For Thou only art holy

I wonder as I wander

Wayfaring Stranger

Amazing Grace

Oh the deep love of Jesus

Jesus, Keep Me near the Cross

Sing Hallelujah to the Lord

God be with you till we meet again

He shall give his angels charge over you

Choose life

The Sign of the Son

Life is short

You are Worthy
