The Cherubic Hymn is the primary cherubikon, or song of the angels, sung during every Divine Liturgy of the year except those of Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday. It occurs after the Gospel reading and is interrupted by the Great Entrance. The Cherubic Hymn was added to the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom by order of the Emperor Justinian near the end of the sixth century.
The words of the Cherubic Hymn are as follows:

"We, who mystically represent the Cherubim,
And chant the thrice-holy hymn to the Life-giving Trinity,
Let us set aside the cares of life
That we may receive the King of all,
Who comes invisibly escorted by the Divine Hosts."
Though the actual text is short, the hymn lasts for quite a while due to its drawn-out, ethereal style. It is our best imitation of and supplement to the singing of the Heavenly Hosts.

  • beautiful - thank you!

  • @CircusPark48 As a Byzantine Catholic at St. John the Baptist in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA we sing it in Church Slovonic (and English at times). Are you Byzatine?

  • "Noi, care pe heruvimi cu taină închipuim,

    Şi făcătoarei de viaţă Treimi întreit-sfântă cântare aducem,

    Toată grija cea lumească să o lepădăm

    Ca pe Împăratul tuturor, să primim,

    Pe Cel înconjurat în chip nevăzut de cetele îngereşti."

    Cu toate că acest text este scurt, imnul durează destul de mult datorită stilului eteric, întins. Este cea mai bună imitare realizată de oameni a cântecului Puterilor Cereşti.

  • Thanks for posting this on YT, It is one of the greatest settings of the Cheribicon and is by the great Gavriil Musicescu, father of modern Romanian choral music. He fought hard for choral music in the Romanian Orthodox Church. Thank God he won.

  • Adevarata arta...

  • Autorul acestei minunate muzici inspirate de Dumnezeu este Gavrii Musicescu, compozitor roman nascut la Ismail, reghent al Catedralei Mitropolitane din Iasi.

  • Really beautiful!!
