Christos voskres! Christos voskres!

Boh predvicnyj

This Paschal hymn is taken from Father Stefan Papp's 1969 collection Duchovňi Pisňi on page 30.

A number of English translations of this hymn are in circulation; unfortunately, most try to match "Christ is risen" to the opening musical phrase, resulting in noticeably bad English accents (or a change to the rhythm of the original melody). Father Conrad Dachuk's translation, Let all profess: Christos voskres!, which is included in the MCI propers leaflet for the Divine Liturgy of Pascha, deserves to be better known.
