Blazhen Muzh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blazhen Muzh, in English, "Blessed is the Man," is taken from the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox tradition of Vespers. As with many of the psalms and hymns, Blazhen Muzh attracted the attention of composers.
Alexander Gretchaninov first used it in his epic All-Night Vigil composed in 1912, specifically for use by the Synod Choir. Three years later, Rachmaninov used the same hymn in his Vigil, composed in 1915 and performed in Moscow, also by the Synod Choir.
The version below is the one composed by Sergei Vasil'yevich Rachmaninov.
The song in English is as follows:
- Blessed is the man, who walks not in the counsel of the wicked.
- Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
- for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
- but the way of the wicked will perish. Alleluia.
- Serve the Lord with fear
- and rejoice in Him with trembling. Alleluia.
- Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Alleluia.
- Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! Alleluia.
- Salvation is of the Lord;
- and Thy blessing is upon Thy people. Alleluia.
- Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
- both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
- Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to Thee, O God!
- Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to Thee, O God!
- Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to Thee, O God!
The song as pronounced in Russian is as follows:
- Blazhen muzh, izhe ne ide na sovet nechestivykh.
- Allilujia, allilujia, allilujia.
- Jako vest' Gospod' put' pravednykh, i put' nechestivykh pogibnet.
- Allilujia, allilujia, allilujia.
- Rabotajte Gospodevi so strakhom i radujtesja Emu s trepetom.
