Вместе Мы с Вами Верили
(Together We with You Believed)
Translated from Russian, August 2018, D. Benning
Together with you we have believed
Together we loved and sang
Together the road we traveled
Often midst wind and rain.
Our tasks were not big but finished,
Together as fire we burned
Together in snowy evenings
For heaven’s rich land we yearned.
Together we stood as righteous,
Hearing the threats of those wrong
And before God we stood right
Clean before all we were strong.
And there in the sunny, dear land
To Christ we’ll come with song;
There with no tears nor sorrows,
Together we’ll ever belong.
