Cheruvimi: "svjat!"

This Christmas hymn is from page 154-155 of Father Stefan Papp's Duchovňi Pisňi (1969).

Sources

This hymn appeared in the L'vov Pisnoslovets (1907) as hymn number 8, with eight verses. The 1932 collection Kolady (from Užhorod) printed seven verses, with a slightly different text.

In 1969, Father Stefan Papp printed a version with music and the first two verses, given above. Father Papp's text generally matches the first two verses in the Kolady collection from Užhorod.
