The 1812 Overture has a nice set of Christian lyrics. But it appears to have many versions. Any stabs? Please share.
God Preserve Thy People...
Grant salvation to Thy people, Lord,
and we pray Thee bless thine inheritance, O God.
Grant vict'ry to those who fight to save our righteous faith and our dear sacred land.
and from all evil deliver us.
Give victory to our Orthodox Emperor Nicholas Pavlovich
Bestow victory to Orthodox Christians over enemies.
Then the guardian of perfect grace, the cross will forever be.
The cross will forever be
The cross will be, the cross.
God Preserve Thy People/God Save the Tsar....
Grant salvation to Thy people, Lord,
and we pray Thee bless thine inheritance, O God.
Grant victory to those who fight to save our righteous faith and our dear sacred land.
And we pray Thee bless thine inheritance, our dear sacred land, our sacred land.
God save our sacred land.
God grant us victory , victory against our foe!
God save our sacred land!
Give Us Peace!
