The Lord's Prayer (Rimsky-Korsakov) / Russian Orthodox
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 trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
Composer: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908)

Nyne Otpushchaeshi Raba Tvoego Vladyko (Nunc Dimittis) (Russia)
NYNE OTPUSHCHAYESHI RABA TVOEGO, VLADYKO
Nyne Otpushchaeshi raba Tvoego, Vladyko,
po glagolu Tvoyemu s mirom:
yako videsta ochi moi spaseniye Tvoye,
ezhe esi ugotoval pred litsem vsekh lyudei,
svet vo otkrovenie yazykov, i slavu lyudei Tvoikh Izrailya.
English Translation (Book of Common Prayer, 1662):
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;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Taken from Sergei Rachmaninoff's All Night Vigil
Composer: Sergei Rachmaninoff (1915)
