Текст песни Одунас Крестьянкин - Я слышал в келии простой

I heard - in a simple cell
Old man with a wonderful prayer
He prayed quietly before me:
“Father of people, Heavenly Father!
Yes, your eternal name
Shone in our hearts;
Thy kingdom come,
Your will be with us
As in heaven, so on earth.
Daily bread was sent to us
With my generous hand;
And how we forgive people
So us, insignificant before You,
Forgive, Father, His children;
Do not lead us into temptation
And from sly seduction
Deliver us! .. "
Before the cross
So he prayed. Lamp light
Flickered in the dark from afar
And my heart felt joy
From that old man's prayer.
