Six Choruses for Mixed Voices Op. 40: I. Nunc Dimittis
Pavel Chesnokov
"Nïnye otpushcháyeshi rabá Tvoyegó Vladïko
po glagólu Tvoyemu, s mírom
yáko vídyesta óchi moyí spasyéniye Tvoyé
yézhe yesí ugotóval
pryed litsém fsyékh liudyéi
svyét vo otkrovyéniye yazïkov
i slávu liudyéi Tvoyíkh Izráilya
Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace
According to thy word
For mine eyes have seen
Thy salvation
Which thou hast prepared
Before the face of all people
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles
And to be the glory of thy people Israel"
