This is one of my all time favorites! It was played hundreds of times during the Christmas and Easter seasons by my family, often as we sung along.
They are from a LP from the mid-1960s from St. Mary Byzantine Catholic Church in Van Nuys, California (now Sherman Oaks). The whole record is posted on their YouTube channel. Worth a listen!

Lovely....just sang that on Sunday with the Russian contingent during the annual "Paschal Troparion Sing-Off Contest" at my godparents' Pascha party. We sang it a bit faster, though.
"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."
The CD, with the original liner notes, translations, texts and choir member names, etc form the original record are still available from the parish. The CD audio (and the MP3 files online at lower resolution) were directly digitally mastered from the original (still surviving) master tape that the records were pressed from.
