Te Deum

Let us praise the Lord’s peace!

All is Yours, O God the Father!

The anthem rises with us

The whole earth, day and night.

Choirs of unseen angels,

The powers of the golden heavens,

Seraphim, cherubim

They sing the praises of the All-Good.

Holy is our Lord, the Almighty,

Our gracious and righteous Tsar.

The earth and the abode of the heavens

You have filled it with Your glory.

Here are the apostles, the prophets,

All those who boldly sought the truth —

Martyred heroes,

A legion clad in white.

God of peace and freedom

With a heartfelt plea,

By the voices of all peoples

Our Church sings.

Honours You — the Father and the Son

Together with the Spirit — all creation

United in joy,

In constant worship.

The Son of the Eternal Father

He descended from his throne to earth —

He took human form,

Without shunning the Virgin’s womb.

You have destroyed the stronghold of death,

He shattered her weapon,

You, the eternity of a blissful life

You open the door to faithful souls.

You sit at the right hand,

The Father’s Only-Begotten Son,

And the Day of Judgement is inevitable

For the actions of those who fall out of favour.

Having atoned for his crime

With precious, pure Blood,

We pray to You, Lord, in humility:

Wash away sin with Your love!

With the saints in the radiance

Let me return to my roots,

May He protect us in times of wandering

We are the ever-watchful eye!

We are the heirs of the Covenant,

Reign over Your children.

Every day, Lord of Light,

We call upon Your name!

The song of glory will never fall silent

A work of gratitude.

Protect us, O righteous God,

On this day, resist temptation!

Grant aid to the mortal forces,

Light up hearts and faces.

Whoever has entrusted their fate to God,

That age will never be put to shame.
