about

Sung by Margo Sinkevitch and Calvin Peters.

A Sessional Hymn from from the service of Matins of the Publican and the Pharisee prior to the beginning of Orthodox Lent.

lyrics

Humility exalted the Publican, overcome with shame and sorrow for his evil deeds, when he cried to the Creator be merciful unto me. But exaltation brought down from righteousness the Pharisee who spoke in pride. Therefore let us earnestly desire the good, but avoid the bad. In days of old humility exalted the Publican, who cried lamenting, "Be merciful," and he was justified. Let us follow his example for we have fallen down into the depths of evil. Let us cry to the Savior from the depths of our hearts: We have sinned, be merciful, O Thou who lovest mankind.
