The content of these podcasts would be mostly in Greek but I felt I should begin with a beautiful hymn performed by my dear friend Elias Karseras. A casual recording in our living room with a domestic cassette recorder, in 1988.
Elias is now in Heaven with his Lord and Savior.
Το περιεχόμενο σε αυτή τη σειρά θα είναι κυρίως στα Ελληνικά. Ήθελα όμως να αρχίσω με ένα ύμνο στα αγγλικά που αποδίδει ο αγαπητός μου φίλος Ηλίας Καρσεράς. Μια πρόχειρη ηχογράφηση σε ένα απλό κασετόφωνο που έγινε στο σαλόνι του σπιτιού μας το 1988.
Ο Ηλίας είναι τώρα στον Ουρανό μαζί με τον Κύριο και Σωτήρα του
Lord, I was blind; I could not see
In Thy marred visage any grace,
But now the beauty of Thy face
In radiant vision dawns on me.
Lord, I was deaf; I could not hear
The thrilling music of Thy voice;
But now I hear Thee and rejoice,
And all Thine uttered words are dear!
Lord, I was dumb; I could not speak
The grace and glory of Thy name;
But now, as touched with living flame,
My lips Thine eager praises wake.
Lord, I was dead; I could not stir
My lifeless soul to come to Thee;
But now, since Thou hast quickened me,
I rise from sin’s dark sepulcher.
For Thou hast made the blind to see,
The deaf to hear, the dumb to speak,
The dead to live; and, lo, I break
The chains of my captivity.
