Ukrainian Choir: Spiritual Anthem & Traditional Folk Song (Kyiv Symphony)

The Kyiv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (KSOC) was founded and began performing sacred masterpieces of classical music in 1993. These pieces—including Handel’s Messiah—were banned under Communist rule. As the Iron Curtain lifted and this music became known to Ukrainian musicians, they described it as “an explosion of light.”

These time-honored compositions powerfully communicate texts that come directly from Scripture, declaring God's glory to the nations.

For the musicians of the KSOC, music is both profession and calling. Our members are graduates of the world-renowned Tchaikovsky National Music Academy and now regularly perform in Ukraine and tour the U.S. and Canada. They have appeared at National Opera Theater in Kyiv and played in numerous churches, colleges, and concert halls throughout the world.

Performance of "Prayer for Ukraine" and "Oak (Ukrainian Folk Song) by Kyiv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus was originally recorded in 2014.

Prayer for Ukraine is a Ukrainian hymn published in 1885, which became a spiritual anthem of Ukraine.

Lord, oh the Great and Almighty,
Protect our beloved Ukraine,
Bless her with freedom and light
Of your holy rays.

With learning and knowledge enlighten
Us, your children small,
In love pure and everlasting
Let us, oh Lord, grow.

We pray, oh Lord Almighty,
Protect our beloved Ukraine,
Grant our people and country
All your kindness and grace.

Bless us with freedom, bless us with wisdom,
Guide into a kind world,
Bless us, oh Lord, with good fortune
Forever and evermore.


The text was written by Oleksandr Konysky. English translation by Dmytro Shostak


Isaiah 26:3-4 says, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are unwavering because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.”

[jeremiahkirby]

God bless you all that have tasted death and returned. God bless you all that are just hanging on by a thread. God bless you all that have gotten so used to pain that life without it seems odd. God bless you all that have gotten so close to ending your life but chose the pain of living instead. God bless you all that willingly give. God bless you all that smile back at strangers. God bless you all that will take time out of your lives to enrich somebody else's. God bless you ALL!

Excellent voices. Beautiful music. God bless you all . My constant daily prayer is for God to cover each one of you with his blood. Demanding Satan and his followers to leave you ALL alone. Let there be peace.
