П. Г. Чeсноков. «Совет превечный» (стихира Благовещения) 

Here I present the Annunciation Hymn by Pavel Chesnokov, "The Pre-Eternal Counsel".

Performed by the St. Petersburg Male Voice Choir, conducted by Vadim Afansiev.
Counter tenor, Alexander Gorbatenko.

Revealing to Thee the pre-eternal counsel,
Gabriel came and stood before Thee, O Maiden,
and in greeting said:
Rejoice, earth that has not been sown!
Rejoice, burning bush that remains unconsumed!
Rejoice, unsearchable depth!
Rejoice, bridge that leads to Heaven!
Rejoice, ladder raised on high that Jacob saw!
Rejoice, divine jar of manna!
Rejoice, deliverance from the curse!
Rejoice, restoration of Adam;
the Lord is with Thee!
