Hymns of the Russian Church

About this book

John Brownlie's English versions of hymns from the Russian church, published in 1907. Drawing on Slavonic services in Greek and Russian use, Brownlie presents the church's praise of Christ, the saints' days, and the great feasts to English readers. The translations extend his lifelong project of making the hymnody of the Christian East known in the West.
