Tebe poem

This text is from the Orthodox Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom. It is a hymn concluding the consecration, the part of the Divine Liturgy during which the bread and wine on the altar are believed to be transformed into the blood and body of Christ. The hymn is introduced by the priest, who exclaims:

Твоя от Твоих, Тебе приносяще о всех и за вся

(Translit: Tvoya ot Tvoikh, Tyebye prinosyashche o vsyekh i za vsya)

(Trad: Offering you these gifts from your own gifts in all and for all)
