This is a beautiful contemporary setting of New Roman (“Byzantine”) chant, it is based on the Trisagion. The slideshow is from Holy Mount Athos.
Holy God,
Holy Mighty,
Holy Immortal,
Have Mercy on Us!
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
Both now, and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
Amen.
I was looking for something contemplative for the Great Lent. This is a popular “spiritual song”, not meant for the liturgy, hence, it has an instrumental accompaniment. We are setting sail on “the sea of the fast”, God willing, we shall see the Great Easter seven weeks from now.
The Russian words at the end of the video mean “Save and Preserve (Us)”.
