A meditation on the mystery of death and life everlasting through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Images of the grave in darkness are contrasted with the eternal light of Christ and underscored with the ancient Kiev chant, the Kontakion of the Departed, and the chimes and chant of the Orthodox monks in Ukraine. It is a message of hope for a world of fear and confusion. Be not afraid. In Christ, there is light, love and life beyond the grave.

where sorrow and pain are no more;
neither sighing but life everlasting."

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

@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.

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