I'm having trouble finding a particular hymn online in the traditional melody.

Can anyone help me find the hymn called, "Open to me the Gates of Repentance?"

Please and thank you!

I will be glad to help but will not go to a great length to locate that specific hymn, however here are the google search results for Orthodox hymn library:

Are you looking for sheet music or a recording? The sheet music (and a midi recording, not a real recording) are here:

Wow, look at all that! Thanks so much, Reader Moses.

I have to sing the hymn tomarrow at Church. I thought i had the link and today realized i had totally lost it.

Thanks to you guys for finding it for me, otherwise i would've been so lost.

I've been practicing for the last hour, i think it's coming along well. Hopefully i wont scare away the angels tomarrow in Church with my singing.
