A PRAYER FOR UKRAINE

Боже великий, єдиний,
Нам Україну храни,
Волі і світу промінням
Ти її осіни.

Світлом науки і знання
Нас, дітей, просвіти,
В чистій любові до краю,
Ти нас, Боже, зрости.

Молимось, Боже єдиний,
Нам Україну храни,
Всі свої ласки й щедроти
Ти на люд наш зверни.

Дай йому волю, дай йому долю,
Дай доброго світу, щастя,
Дай, Боже, народу
І многая, многая літа.

Lord, oh the Great and Almighty,
Protect our beloved Ukraine,

Of your holy rays.

Us, your children small,
In love pure and everlasting
Let us, oh Lord, grow.
 
We pray, oh Lord Almighty,
Protect our beloved Ukraine,
Grant our people and country
All your kindness and grace.

For ever and evermore.


TANTUM ERGO

Tantum ergo sacramentum
veneremur cernui,
et antiquum documentum
novo cedat ritui;

Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio.
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio. Amen

Therefore let us venerate with
bowed heads so great a Sacrament;
and let the old law give way to
a new rite;
let faith supply that which
our senses cannot provide.

Praise and jubilation be
to the Begetter and the Begotten
and also honor, blessing, and virtue.
Give equal praise to the One
proceeding from Both. Amen.

sing on.
For him, let the cymbals resonate
in your hands with bright and joyful chords.
Let every living breath,
every escaping sigh exclaim:
Praise to him, praise to the King of the heavens,
Praise him in your celebrations,
