Weep Not for me, O Mother

"Weep not for me, O Mother, 
beholding in the tomb the Son whom thou hast
conceived without seed in thy womb.
For I shall arise, and shall be glorified,
and as God I shall exalt in everlasting glory
those who magnify Thee with faith and love"

Sung here by The Patriachal Cathedral of the Epiphany Choir & Gennadiy Kharitonov.
