This is the original, Orthodox Christian Akathist hymn written to Saint Herman of Alaska. (There is another Akathist entitled "The New Akathist to St. Herman.) There are 2-3 traditional, Russian, Akathist melodies; this one is the most common. There are a few Byzantine melodies too. --- This was my first time singing it, so I got a little tongue tied in some areas, but I hope you like it. --- (Side note: The full Akathist said with a Priest is slightly different, but this simplified version is usually what Orthodox Christians pray in their homes.) The text comes "The Book of Akathists Volume 1," translated by Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Christian Monastery in Jordanville, New York.
