Church Slavonic in German document

Question

I am currently working on a paper about (ancient) Romanian. I would like to give some rather short (less than a page) example of an old text written with church slavonic letters. Here's my problem: how do I do that?

I've already found the churchslavonic package for XeLaTeX but I just can't get it to work properly. Also I am not sure if I can just switch from my LaTeX-"Code" to XeLaTex without ruining something else due to complications etc.

So in the following you'll find my (extensive?) preamble that mostly regulates my bibliography (my university forces us to use their weird way of doing things...).

I am forever greatful if somebody can point out an (easy) way for me to do this. Also I'm currently using OpenSuse and cannot find the churchslavonic package in their repository!

Please feel free to ask for any other additional information needed!

Here is a minimized example showing the main ingredients:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{churchslavonic}

\setmainlanguage[variant=new]{german}
\setotherlanguage{churchslavonic}

\newfontfamily{\cyrillicfont}{Old Standard}[
  Scale=MatchUppercase,
]

\begin{document}

Some German text here: Deutsches Beispiel äöüß.
Church Slavonic here:
\foreignlanguage{churchslavonic}{ДЕРЕПТАЬ А҃ЧѢ҆Ѧ   МѸ́ЛТЕ ПЪРЦИ
А҃МЬ   ТРЕБАГЬ ША́МЬ КЪ ТАТЬ ПЪНѪ Ѡ҃А҃МЬ А҃ФЛА҃ТЬ   ЦА́РА
РѸМѪНѢСКѪ}

\end{document}

You need a font that supports Church Slavonic, I used Old Standard.
