by Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825 - 1893)

Молитва
Language: Russian (Русский) 
О боже мой, восстанови
Мой падший дух, мой дух унылый;
Я жажду веры и любви,
Для новых битв я жажду силы.

Запуган мраком ночи я,
И в нем я ощупью блуждаю;
Ищу в светильник свой огня,
Но где обресть его, не знаю.

В изнеможенья скорбный час
Простри спасительные руки,
Да упадет завеса с глаз,
Да прочь идут сомненья муки.

Внезапным светом озарен,
От лжи мой ум да отрешится
И вместе с сердцем да стремится
Постигнуть истины закон.

Услышь, о боже, голос мой!
Да возлюбив всем сердцем брата,
Во тьме затерянной тропой
Пойду я вновь – и без возврата!
