"Let us hymn the whole world’s glory, engendered from mankind and who gave birth to the Master, the Gate of heaven, Mary the Virgin, the song of the Bodiless Powers and adornment of the faithful; for she has been proclaimed Heaven and Temple of the Godhead. She by destroying the middle wall of enmity has brought peace instead and thrown open the King’s palace. Therefore, holding fast to her as anchor of the faith, we have as champion the Lord born from her. Take courage therefore, take courage, people of God; for he will make war on the foe as All-powerful."

Musically the Antiochian Church in town, St. Mary's, has a tone of the Trisigion Hymn that I just love, and I also like how they sing the Christ Is Risen hymn. On one of the Valaam Monastery CD's there is one of the Antiphons that is just plain beautiful. At St. Nicholas in Omaha the choir sings the Lord's Prayer in Slavonic in a very beautiful way.

It is an education process for me as I learn about the psychology of spiritual apostasy. And others get the benefit of perhaps hearing righteousness for the first time.

Wow, just looked up the words. "By mine own will the earth covers me, O Mother, but the gatekeepers of hell tremble as they see me, clothed in the bloodstained garment of vengeance: for on the Cross as God have I struck down mine enemies, and I shall rise again and magnify thee." So empowering! |

As a chanter, it's hard to nail down one hymn, but I admit that I am most partial to hymns chanted in plagal tone 1 (i.e. tone 5). Such hymns include:
The Evlogetaria (both in the heirmologic and the slower version for Holy Friday)
Deuvte, lavete phos (Come, take light) from the Rush
The Apolytikion of Pascha (xristos anesti)
Agni Parthene
Particular psalms that are done in tone 5 include the Mitri Murr version of Psalm 134 are also a great joy for me.

Eonia i mnimi (Memory Eternal), melodically simple, but overwhelming emotionally, due to the sincere participation of most of the congregation. Otherwise I would vote for the third stasis of the Lamentations of the Greek Orthodox Good Friday evening service.

I wish there was good recording of the this canon. It is used not only at the Holy Saturday Orthros and the Rush service but also, the funeral of a priest. This is one of those things that is really written for a Male Choir and not a Mixed group. |

The Slavonic Vyechnaya Pamyat is no less evocative. Dear LBK, I do not know how I did not see this reply since I post so rarely. Thank you so much!! I have now listened to about five youtube recordings and the comments about what this hymn means to people. I was unfortunately unable to find a recording of Eonia i mnimi as sung by the congregations in the west coast of the usa with the exception of ~15 minutes (if memory serves me right) into a 9/11 memorialconcert from Hawaii. Again thank you. |

Christ is Risen is a favorite, of course, as is Gladsome Light. However, now that I'm attending a Greek parish again I find what I truly miss is the Cherubic Hymn in English.

Actually sang this on Sunday to commemorate the repose of our old priest. It was very moving. |

The Te Deum Laudamus
We praise Thee O God, we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship Thee, the Father Everlasting.
To Thee all the angels cry aloud, the heavens and all the powers therein;
To Thee cherubim and seraphim continually do cry;
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of Thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles praise Thee
The goodly fellowship of the prophets praise Thee;
The noble army of martyrs praise Thee;
The holy Church though all the world doth acknowledge Thee;
The Father of an infinite majesty; Thine adorable true and only Son,
Also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ.
Thou are the everlasting Son of the Father.
When Thou tookest upon Thee to deleiver man;
Thou didst humble Thyself to be born of a virgin.
When Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death,
Thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God
In the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come
To be our judge.
We therefore pray Thee to help Thy servants,
Whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with Thy saints
In glory everlasting.
O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine heritage.
Govern them and lift them up forever.
Day by day we magnify Thee,
And we worship Thy name ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin,
O Lord have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us,
O Lord, let Thy mercy be upon us, as our trust is in Thee.
O Lord, in Thee have I trusted; let me never be confounded.

God did not create man equal. Samuel Colt made man equal. Blessed be the Peacemaker.

A lot of good ones here.
I'll throw in two less common favorites.
1. a hymn commonly sung at the end of Holy Saturday Orthros: "As the Sun Hid Its Rays", which may be more familiar by its refrain "give me that stranger..."
2. the Sunday Vespers Dogmatikon: "In the Red Sea". A great recording of this is on Saint Nektarios Monastery in New York's Presanctified Liturgy CD. (their chant is as good as almost anywhere you'd go on Athos)

O Lord although I desired to blot out
with my tears the handwriting of my many sins
And for the rest of my life to please Thee
through sincere repentance
Yet doth the enemy lead me astray as he wareth
against my sould with his cunning
O Lord before I utterly perish do Thou save me!

"Simeron Kremate" - I had only ever heard it as a recording before, from a service in a Colorado parish- which was powerful enough. Live, it reduced me to tears.
