Prayers in time of need

Prayer for Ukraine

Words by Oleksandr Konysky (1885), music by Mykola Lysenko — the spiritual anthem of Ukraine.

Great God, the One and Only,
protect our Ukraine,
with the rays of freedom and light
overshadow her.

With the light of learning and knowledge
enlighten us, Your children;
in pure love for our land
make us grow, O God.

We pray, O only God,
protect our Ukraine,
all Your mercies and bounties
turn toward our people.

Give them freedom, give them good fortune,
give them a kind world,
grant happiness, O God, to the people,
and many, many years.

A close translation of the Ukrainian text.
