The Song of Simeon, sung by the Sretensky Monastery Male Voice Choir, Moscow.
LORD, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Luke 2:29-32.

The Lord’s Prayer
OUR Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive as debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Amen.
