Ruach Breath Of Life

I was looking for a piece that would help us to pray for Russia, and was reminded of a hymn we used to sing many years ago. It is a famous Russian folk tune, and the words are so powerful. May it inspire us to see Russia in a good and godly way, but also to pray for other nations too. The reference to grain in the mills is particularly poignant. For background see, https://hymnary.org/hymn/PsH/595 Praise to God in the highest! Bless us, O Father: praise to you! Guide and prosper the nations, rulers, and peoples: praise to you! 2 May the truth in its beauty flourish triumphant: praise to you! May the mills bring us bread, for food and for giving: praise to you! 3 May the good be obeyed and evil be conquered: praise to you! Give us laughter, and set us daily rejoicing: praise to you! 4 Peace on earth and goodwill be ever among us: praise to you! Amen, alleluia, alleluia, amen.
