Songs of Faith & Devotion: Evlogetaria for the Dead

While not a Western hymn for Lent I find the message of 'Evlogetaria for the Dead', Tone 5 especially moving and powerful for meditation and reflection during this Lententide season.

Enjoy...

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.
The choir of the saints has found the fountain of life and the door of Paradise. May I also find the way through repentance, the sheep that was lost am I, call me up to You, O Saviour, and save me.

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.
