Clothed with Light: Kyrie Eleison

Fractal flame imagery, icons, video clips, and animation effects are used to illustrate the lyrics of the Russian hymn and prayer, "God, You Are Clothed with Light":

God, you are clothed with light,
As with a garment fair,
And in your holy sight
The saints your beauty wear;
The heav'ns and all therein express
The glory of your holiness.

Give me a robe of light
That I may walk with you:
Bright as the stars are bright,
Pure as their light is pure;
Whose texture sin shall never stain,
But ever undefiled remain.

But can a sinner dare,
In rags, and sore ashamed,
Lift up to God the prayer
Which now my lips have framed,
While glowing seraphs fold their wings,
And pour their sinless offerings?

O Christ, I lift my eyes;
Your love for me I own;
In your great sacrifice
Remains my hope alone;
The robe is mine, my soul to dress,
Of everlasting righteousness.

"Kyrie" sung by Cantores in Ecclesia.

Galatians 3:27, "As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ."

Psalm 104:1,2, "Bless the Lord, O my soul... who coverest thyself with light as with a garment."
