Favorite Hymns (EO Forum)

[All4Christ]

Feel free to share some of your favorite liturgical or paraliturgical hymns here.

One of my favorites is The Angel Cried. The first time I heard it sung once people returned to church after the pandemic (we only had 10 in the congregation at the time), as well as seeing the Eucharist, started to make me tear up and make it hard to sing. Such a joyous song!

Give the people what they... - Music at St. Tikhon's | Facebook

The angel cried to the Lady Full of Grace: Rejoice, O Pure Virgin! Again I say: Rejoice! Your Son is risen from His three days in the tomb! With Himself He has raised all the dead! Rejoice, all you people!

Shine! Shine! O New Jerusalem! The Glory of the Lord has shone on you! Exalt now and be glad, O Zion! Be radiant, O Pure Theotokos, in the Resurrection of your Son!

I really love what is called the Beatitudes or Lord' Remember us in your Kingdom.

Lots of other good pieces of music not sure where they fit.

Oh Pure Virgin is one of my favs as well. My church sings it a bit more lively though!

Time to come clean:

I enjoy Gregorian chants while working.

Lately I’ve been having Lord have mercy litanies in my head. I’m not sure if it is a hymn persay, but it is an essential prayer in a musical setting. (I’ll try to find a audio / video file for it)

Gospodi Pomilui (Serbian Orthodox, from Hilandar on Mt. Athos)

Psalm in Aramaic by Fr. Seraphim Bit Kharibi of Georgia (I have no idea why they used an image for the video of Komitas Vardapet, the famous Armenian priest, composer, and witness to the Armenian genocide, but hey, at least you get to learn some Aramaic thanks to the very helpful encoded subtitles with transliteration)

Troparia for the Archangels (Antiochian Orthodox)

I know this isn't a hymn, but my mood right now:

There are beautiful hymns/chants in this thread, but I'll add this one as I just happened across it again.
