Advent IV: Salvation is Created

Luke 1:34-35 (ESV)

And Mary said to the angel,
“How will this be, since I am a virgin?”

And the angel answered her,
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High
will overshadow you;
therefore the child to be born
will be called holy—the Son of God.


Salvation is Created
Pavel Chesnokov

Russian:

Spaséñiye,
sodélal yesí posredé ziemlí,
Bózhe. Allilúiya.

Cпасение
coдeлaл еси посреде земли,
Боже. Аллилуия.

English:

Salvation is created
in the midst of the earth.
O God, Our God, Alleluia.



Special thanks to Cheryl @ a round unvarnish'd tale for finding this recording, not to mention the lyrics in Russian, and posting them here.
