This song is a cover of an old Russian hymn.
English lyrics
Our life is as short,
As a flight of a bird,
Quickly forward it flies,
Faster, than a swift boat
As a shadow our life
On this earth we received,
It is after twilight
Vanishes and disappears
As a flower in the field -
In the morning it bloomed,
By the evening in heat
It has wilted and drooped
Careless man, you don’t like
To be troubled by thoughts
That you’ll die in due time
And your life is so short
Time to care, time to think,
Look for Christ, oh, my friend
You will find joy in Him
And your soul will be saved.
Amen !!! <><
Psalm 84
To the leader: according to The Gittith. Of the Korahites. A Psalm.
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longs, indeed it faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy
to the living God.
3 Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
my King and my God.
4 Happy are those who live in your house,
ever singing your praise.
Selah
5 Happy are those whose strength is in you,
in whose heart are the highways to Zion.*
6 As they go through the valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs;
the early rain also covers it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength;
the God of gods will be seen in Zion.
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob!
Selah
9 Behold our shield, O God;
look on the face of your anointed.
10 For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than live in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
he bestows favour and honour.
No good thing does the Lord withhold
from those who walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts,
happy is everyone who trusts in you.
Amen!
Amen.
