Подвиг есть и в сраженьи, Подвиг есть и в борьбе, Высший подвиг в терпеньи Любви и мольбе. Если сердце заныло Перед злобой людской, Иль насилье схватило Тебя цепью стальюй, Если скорби земные Жалом в душу впились, С верой бодрой и смелой Ты за подвиг берись: Есть у подвига крылья, И взлетишь ты на них, Без труда, без усилья, Выше мраков земных; Выше крыши темницы, Выше злобы слепой, Выше воплей и криков Гордой черни людской! Подвиг есть и в сраженьи, Подвиг есть и в борьбе, Высший подвиг в терпеньи Любви и мольбе.

Il y a des exploits dans les batailles, Il y a des exploits dans la lutte, Mais le plus grand exploit dans la patience, L'amour et la prière. Si le cœur fait mal À cause de la méchanceté humaine, Ou si la violence te prend Avec une chaîne d'acier, Si les chagrins terrestres Piquent ton âme profondément, Avec la foi forte et courageuse, Tu es prêt pour l'exploit. L'exploit a des ailes Et elles te monteront haut Sans peine, sans effort, Au-dessus de l'obscurité de la terre, Au-dessus du toit de la prison, Au-dessus de la rage aveugle, Au-dessus des cris et des hurlements De la foule des gens ! Il y a des exploits dans les batailles, Il y a des exploits dans la lutte, Mais le plus grand exploit dans la patience, L'amour et la prière.
