Strastnaya Sedmista
The 7 Days of Passion Op. 58
1. Behold the Bridegroom cometh.
Music by Alexander Gretchaninov 
Sung here by the The State Academic Symphonic Capella of Russia

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Behold the Bridegroom comes in the middle of the night:
and blessed the servant whom He shall find watching
but unworthy is he whom He shall find in slothfulness.
Beware, then, O my soul, and be not overcome by sleep.
lest thou be given over to death and shut out from the Kingdom
But return to soberness and cry aloud:
Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O God. Through Mother of God have mercy upon us.

Accompanaying paintings by Feodor A Vasilyev.
