In 1879, Tchaikovsky was the first to give his version of the liturgy of Saint John Chrysostome without dealing with the Imperial Chapel. It cost him a legal proceeding, which he won, and which lead to reforms, opened religious music up to modern composers and opened liturgical chants up to women.
Mercy on the world, praise for the sacrificed
And with your spirit
We turn to the Lord
It is fair and just to kneel before the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
Holy Trinity of unique and indivisible essence
Saint, Saint, Saint, Lord Sabaoth, He made the heavens and the Earth
Glory to Thee, glory to Thee
Hosannah in the heavens, hosannah in the heavens,
Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord
Hosannah in the heavens, hosannah in the heavens, hosannah, hosannah in the heavens
Amen, amen
And with your spirit
We turn to the Lord
It is fair and just to kneel before the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
Holy Trinity of unique and indivisible essence
Saint, Saint, Saint, Lord Sabaoth, He made the heavens and the Earth
Glory to Thee, glory to Thee
Hosannah in the heavens, hosannah in the heavens,
Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord
Hosannah in the heavens, hosannah in the heavens, hosannah, hosannah in the heavens
Amen, amen
