sorry. :D

"Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints:

where sorrow and pain are no more;

neither sighing but life everlasting."

[Jhensy2012]

'Borrowed' by Elton John for the beginning of his "Funeral for a Friend", right down to the bell tolling.

Does anyone know where I can find the Russian or Church Slavonic transcription for the words of the Kontakion (2:09)?

@sdsures I'd also be interested in getting the text. This music is also used in the 1965 Doctor Zhivago, when Yury's mother is being buried. I have also sung it with a choir at the end of services.
