about

Old Believers Spiritual chant. XVIII-XIX century.

lyrics

Standing here today near the Cross, You, the Most Holy Mother, induce your affective cry and your sweetest voice: "Oh, the Illustrious light, the Eterne dawning, my Best Son, the Sweetest graciousness, my Dearest shine, where has Your flickering and ever-burning beauty faded? Where is Your delightsome gaze now? Oh, God's wisdom and the Sweetness of the church, what I see here is a terrific vision. Oh, the Greatest light, the sweetest Jesus, my beloved Son, where has Your genialness disappeared? It is so grievous, my sunshine, my precious divine goodness, Christ the King, when I see you being crucified. Oh, the brightest sun, hide your gleam when you see your Maker suffering unjustly here today. Oh, dear Joseph, take the Body of Jesus and put It into the Holy Sepulchre which is sculpted. Where is Your sweetest look, Your sweetest graciousness? How can I entomb You, my Son, if You are ever living and eternal?"
