This has to be one of the most joyous and beautiful Paschal folk-songs I’ve ever encountered!! Turn on your sound, sit back and enjoy!!
The words and music were written by St. Nikolai Velirimovic
Easter song performed by musical orchestra ”Stupovi” and various Serbian singers and celebrities, dedicated to the resurrection of Christ, made as a part of an action of raising funds for reconstruction of medieval Serbian orthodox monastery ”Pillars of Saint George”
Ljudi likujte, narodi čujte:
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Zvezde igrajte, gore pevajte,
Hristos voskrese, radost donese!
Šume šumite, vetri brujite,
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Mora gudite, zveri ričite,
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Pčele se rojte, a ptice pojte
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Anđeli stojte, pesmu utrojte,
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Nebo se snizi, zemlju uzvisi,
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Zvona zvonite, svima javite,
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Slava ti Bože, sve ti se može,
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Anđeli stojte, pesmu utrojte,
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Nebo se snizi, zemlju uzvisi,
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Zvona zvonite, svima javite,
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Slava ti Bože, sve ti se može,
Hristos voskrse, radost donese!
Sv. Vladika Nikolaj

I first saw this posted on Handmaiden Leah’s blog, Christ is in Our Midst!, and I commend her blog to you highly. I admit, I posted it after seeing and hearing it on her blog. Many of my readers don’t read her blog.
This is beautiful! This song is also on “A Treasury of Spiritual Songs,” which an audio CD made by a Serbian convent in Arizona. I’m sorry I can’t remember the name of the convent, and I only have the name of the CD from my backup copy.
I loved hearing this will full voices! Such a treasure!
The women’s monastery is St. Paisius in Safford, Arizona.
