Summary/Abstract: One of the forms of the internal mission of the Orthodox Chełm-Warsaw diocese at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries was publishing activity. From 1875, the missionary work of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Kingdom of Poland focused on the former Uniate population. The author conducted an internal analysis of a song written by the Orthodox clergyman Krzysztof (Sakowicz). The text of the Orthodox monk from the monastery in Radecznica was one of the tools in the missionary work of the Russian Orthodox Church in Poland. The song is still performed in many parishes of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church.
