  • This is the most wonderful Choir. They are Choir of Vaalam Monastery.
    This chant would usually be in Russian, so this is a rarity.
    The Album is called: ''Taste the fountain of Immortality''
    The super good quality version of the entire CD is here:

    Lyrics:
    God is with us!
    Understand this, O nations, and submit yourselves for God is with us.
    Hear this, even to the farthest bounds of the earth, for God is with us. Submit yourselves, O mighty ones, for God is with us. If you rise up again in your might, you will be overthrown, for God is with us. The Lord shall destroy all who take counsel together, and the word which you speak shall not abide with you, for God is with us. For we do not fear your terror, and we are not troubled, for God is with us. But we will ascribe holiness to the Lord our God, and Him will we hold in awesome fear, for God is with us. And if I put my trust in Him, He shall be my sanctification, for God is with us. I will set my hope on Him, and through Him I shall be saved -lo, I and the children whom God has given me, for God is with us. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness - on them a light has shined, for God is with us. For unto us a Child is born; to us a Son is given, for God is with us. And the government shall be upon His shoulder, and of His peace there will be no end, for God is with us. And His name shall be called the Messenger of Great Counsel, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, the Father of the World to Come, for God is with us.

    It astounds me how so much truly beautiful music is virtually unknown outside the orthodox church. This is one of the true blessings brought about through my conversion; the discovery of an ancient tradition that is so true and so achingly beautiful in its practices, its art, and its music.

    This is my favorite chant in English. It awakens my heart every time.
    Here is an update of the translation into English to match the track. Some sections of the translation in the comments are not sung. I put those parts in parentheses. The only other difference is that they are singing a different English translation, e.g. 'shall' instead of 'will'. Here ya go:
    God is with us!
    Understand (this), O ye nations, and submit yourselves, for God is with us.
    (Hear this), even unto the uttermost ends of the earth, for God is with us. Submit yourselves, ye mighty ones, for God is with us. Even then ye shall rise up in your might, again shall ye be overthrown, for God is with us. Even ye take counsel together, them shall the Lord shall destroy, for God is with us. And the [word ye (?)] shall speak shall not abide in you, for God is with us. For we fear not your terror, neither are we troubled, for God is with us. (But we will ascribe holiness to the Lord our God, and Him will we hold in awesome fear, for God is with us. And if I put my trust in Him, He shall be my sanctification, for God is with us). I will put my trust in Him, and through Him shall I be saved, for God is with us. Lo, I and the children whom God had given me, for God is with us. The people that walk in darkness have seen a great light, for God is with us. For unto us a Child is born; unto us a Son is given, for God is with us. (And the government shall be upon His shoulder). And of His peace there shall be no end, for God is with us. (And His name shall be called the Messenger of Great Counsel, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, the Father of the World to Come, for God is with us). Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, God is with us. Both now and ever and unto the ages of ages amen, God is with us. For God is with us.

      @Joseph last night tears came as I sang along for an hour to my favorite hymns. I was in the choir for 10 years. It was my life. Divorced over a year ago and abandoned and searching for meaning, I was homeless, mom took in this Christian and homeschooling mother with no where to go. I'd have been in a shelter
      He handled finances so, suddenly I find myself with ruined credit, only a part time job, unable to finance a car and mine was being repossessed and unable to rent an apartment. I worked to my current and much lovelier circumstances. Last night I listened again to the hymns that were once my life in tears alone.
      However, when I woke up to your unloving and hyperdox criticism, I remembered why I walked away when my marriage fell apart and I was so alone I wanted to die. A new woman sat at my table with my husband of 16 my 2 children, my dog, my furniture and served dinner in my place. You stand in judgement, but have you known the hell of being outside in the driveway, still married officially, and trying to get your spouse to interrupt the life that was once yours and bring your daughter's social security card outside so that you can enroll her in school??? Do you even begin to know my story? Do you even care beyond the word repent?
      I met him in college. ..At the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. We had both chosen to go into ministry as young people. He studied to be a music minister and pastor. That almost happened but was short lived...the next 16 years aren't even necessary. The abuse, the abandonment, and the broken dreams.
      Before you speak, seek council with your priest and ask if its helpful to call a woman so scarred with life and broken to repentance from your naive place of judgement. Maybe it is I who should call you to repent. "Father, Forgive them, they know not what they do".

I guess, the Pharisees were right as well. I only mean to say, I know you spoke from the heart. May the Lord Bless you. A blessing spoken from a fallen woman, is it still a blessing? God knows. God bless you and strengthen you and Christos Anesti my dear friend ❤

    If any take counsel together, them shall the Lord destroy, for God is with us.
    And the Holy Sheep shall sleep, shall not abide in you, for God is with us.

      I ashshe na Nego nadyeyasya budu, / budyet mnye vo osvyashshenie: / Yako s nami Bog.
      I upovaya budu na Nego, / i spasusya im: / Yako s nami Bog.
      Sye az i dyeti, yazhe mi dade Bog: / Yako s nami Bog.
      Lyudiye khodyashshii vo tme, / videsha svyet vyeliy: / Yako s nami Bog.
      Zhivushshii vo stranye i syeni smertnyey, / svyet vozsiyayet na vy: / Yako s nami Bog.
      Yako Otrocha rodimsya nam, /Syn, i dadyesya nam: / Yako s nami Bog.
      Yegozhe nachalstvo byst na ramye Yego: / Yako s nami Bog.
      I mira Yego nest predyela: / Yako s nami Bog.
      I naritsayetsya imya Yego, / Velika Soveta Angel: / Yako s nami Bog.
      Chudyen Sovyetnik: / Yako s nami Bog.
      Bog kryepok, Vlastitel, / Nachalnik mira: / Yako s nami Bog.
      Otyetes budushshago veka: / Yako s nami Bog.

      Thank you! I actually found it before you replied, but I appreciate you taking the time to reply!
      I’m a new convert, and like learning about icons as I see them.
      God bless!

    It's not a true traditional singing of "Znamenny", songing on video is performed in poliphonic manner and it sounds more like a "bysantine greek", when the "znamrnny" should be perfomed in unison.
