С нашей жизнью вечно смежная
Language: Russian (Русский)
Хор монахов С нашей жизнью вечно смежная, Вечно ищущая нас, Смерть приходит, неизбежная, В каждый день и в каждый час. Благо, благо недремавшему, Мирно гостью ожидавшему, Неусыпно посылавшему К небесам молящий глас! В это страшное мгновение Ты услышь его, господь! [Дай ему успокоение, Дай последнее мучение Упованьем побороть!]1 Мысли прежние, крамольные, Обращенному прости, [Отыми земное, дольное, Дай успение безбольное]1 И невольное и вольное Прегрешенье отпусти!

De son aile effleurant la vie
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
Chœur de moines De son aile effleurant la vie Et avide de nos jours, Vient la mort et chaque instant ravit Un de nous pendant son cours. Bien heureux le vigilant mortel, Qui attend en paix son triste appel, Qui adresse l’hymne sainte au Ciel, En le suppliant toujours ! A cette heure si terrible Aie pitié de lui, Grand Dieu ! [... ... ...] Les révoltes d’un esprit mutin Pardonnez lui, ô Seigneur! [... ...] Le voilà rendu au culte saint : Absolvez le grand pécheur !
