Funeral Kontakion—Kievan Chant Funeral of Queen Elizabeth Кондак “Со святими Упокой“—Київьский Напів Похорон Королеви Єлизавети ______________________________ Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints, where sorrow and pain are no more; neither sighing, but life everlasting. Thou only art immortal, the Creator and Maker of man; and we are mortal, formed of the earth, and unto earth shall we return; for so thou didst ordain when thou createdst me, saying: ’Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.’ All we go down to the dust, and, weeping o’er the grave we make our song: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints, where sorrow and pain are no more; neither sighing, but life everlasting.
