Question

Written by Ipolitov-Ivanov, titled Blagoslovi dushe moya ghospoda
in Russian

Answer 1

There is a site where you can download the lyrics AND the score of this song:
http://notes.tarakanov.net/composers/i.htm

Just scroll down to: М. Иполлитов-Иванов, "Благослови, душе моя Господа", 2 страницы, 86Кб.

I have downloaded the file and it seems to be safe. The .zip archive consists of 2 .tif files containing 2 pages of the song. It will be easy to print out.

In case you have problems with downloading, here are the LYRICS:

Благослови, душе моя, Господа,
благословен еси, Господи.
Благослови, душе моя, Господа,
и вся внутренняя моя, Имя Святое Его.
Благослови, душе моя, Господа,
и не забывай всех воздаяний Его,
очищающаго вся беззакония твоя,
исцеляющаго вся недуги твоя,
избавляющаго от истления живот твой;
венчающаго тя милостию и щедротами.
Благослови, душе моя, Господа,
и вся внутренняя моя, Имя Святое Его.
Благословен еси, Господи.


P.S. The link given by Snowdrop is to a different song, written by D. Khristov, although the title is similar.

Here's a nice webpage with a brief biography of Ippolitov-Ivanov and a list of his works: http://staratel.com/music/classic/composers/photo1050.htm
And a more detailed account oh his life: http://www.krugosvet.ru/articles/65/1006585/1006585a1.htm

Note that his SURNAME is most often spelt with a double P (Ippolitov-Ivanov), although occasionally you would see a double L instead (Ipollitov-Ivanov) or no doubles at all (Ipolitov-Ivanov).
