Text

Обнимись со мной, славянский брат,
Помянуть с тобой я вместе рад
День, когда покинул мир земной
Просветитель наш, Кирилл святой.
К брату Мефодию у скалы Петровой
Так вещал он, смерть принять готовый:
«Брат Мефодий, сострадальник мой,
Ты последний час мой упокой.

Возвратись к славянским ты сынам,
Возрасти Христову ниву там,
Чтобы веры плод возрос, созрел,
Чтоб славянский род свет правды зрел.
Я ж в Небесах буду Господу молиться,
Чтоб им в вере дал Он утвердиться.
И Господь благословит наш труд,
Все славяне ко Христу придут».[1]
