Adam Sat (stikhera from Cheesefare Sunday)

Saint John of SF Mens Chorale sings "Седе Адам." I used scenes from the 1966 "The Bible: In the Beginning" movie for illustration of this piece by Hieromonk Vissarion (Uvarov)- arranged by Archim. Matfei (Mormyl). http://sjmc.sfsobor.com Glory. Tone 6. Adam sat opposite Paradise and, lamenting his nakedness, he wept, Woe is me ! By evil deceit was I persuaded and robbed, and exiled far from glory. Woe is me ! Once naked in my simplicity, now I am in want. But, Paradise, no longer shall I enjoy your delight; no more shall I look upon the Lord my God and Maker, for I shall return to the earth whence I was taken. Merciful and compassionate Lord, I cry to you, Have mercy on me who am fallen. [from http://www.anastasis.org.uk/ChSunV.htm]
