An incredible reminder that we are NEVER alone!

God Is With Us (verses from Isaiah 8:8-10, 12-14, 17-18, 9:2, 6 are sung)
Priest: God is with us! Understand this, O nations, and submit yourselves, for God is with us!
People: God is with us! Understand this, O nations, and submit yourselves, for God is with us!
Priest: Hear this, all you ends of the earth!
Refrain: For God is with us!
Priest: Submit yourselves, you mighty ones! (Refrain)
Even if your strength returns, you shall be overthrown once more. (Refrain)
Take counsel together, if you wish, but it will come to nothing. (Refrain)
Make your plans, if you wish, but they will never stand, even among yourselves. (Refrain)
We do not fear your threats, nor are we troubled. (Refrain)
For the Lord our God is holy, and Him we will fear. (Refrain)
If I trust in Him, He will be my sanctification. (Refrain)
I will wait for Him, He will save me. (Refrain)
Behold, I and the children whom God has given me are signs and omens in Israel from the Lord of Hosts. (Refrain)
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. (Refrain)
To those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, a light is risen. (Refrain)
For unto us a Child is born; unto us a Son is given. (Refrain)
And the government shall be upon His shoulder. (Refrain)
And of His peace there shall be no end. (Refrain)
And His Name shall be called the Angel of Great Counsel. (Refrain)
Wonderful, Counselor. (Refrain)
Mighty God, Eternal Ruler, Prince of Peace. (Refrain)
The Father of the Age to Come. (Refrain)
People: For God is with us!
Priest: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
People: For God is with us!
Priest: ...now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
People: God is with us! Understand this, O nations, and submit yourselves, for God is with us!

This is so beautiful. I am the choir director at St. Andrew's Orthodox church in New Port Richey, Fl. I have heard this arrangement and would love to have a copy of this music.

stevensonrf..we're Orthodox Christians..it's part of the Christian Orthodox culture, the remnant of the One Holy Apostolic and Catholic Church, the Blessing of ancestral and the handed down Tradition and tradition! THAT, goes a long way in explaining it. 2+ language competent is a part. When I was little in the early 60's , I accompanied my favorite Aunt to Roman Mass, you know, back before Vat II and all that . Now, they have women/girls in the Altar area, 'helping' the Priest. Very sad..!
