Music: God is With Us (song of the holy prophet Isaiah)



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.

Old Church Slavonic text:
С нами Бог, разумейте языцы и покаряйтеся, яко с нами Бог.
Услышите и до последних земли, яко с нами Бог. Могущии покаряйтеся, яко с нами Бог. Аще бо паки возможете, и паки побеждени будете, яко с нами Бог. И иже аще совет совещаваете, и разорит и Господь, яко с нами Бог. И слово еже аще возглаголете, не имать пребывати в вас, яко с нами Бог. Страха же вашего не имам убоятися, ниже соблазнитися, яко с нами Бог. Господа же Бога нашего святите, и Той будет вам в боязнь, яко с нами Бог. И иже аще Нань надеешися, и Той будет ти во освящение, яко с нами Бог. И уповающе будем Нань, и спасемся Его ради, яко с нами Бог. Се аз и дети, яже ми дал Бог, яко с нами Бог. Людие ходящии во тме, видеша свет велии, яко с нами Бог. Живущии во стране и сени смертней, свет восияет на вы, яко с нами Бог. Яко Отроча родися нам, Сын и дастся нам, яко с нами Бог. Ему же власть бысть на раме Его, яко с нами Бог. И миру Его несть предела, яко с нами Бог. И нарицается имя Его велика совета Ангел, яко с нами Бог. Чуден Советник, яко с нами Бог. Бог крепок, Владыка, Князь смирения, яко с нами Бог. Отец будущаго века, яко с нами Бог.

Hymn was performed by Sirin ensemble.
