Now available on iTunes, the Chorus of St. Jacob Serugh of Vancouver offers samples of its first ever album "Journey through Holy Week." This album is a three volume set which includes selections from most hymns and some spiritual songs of Holy Week as it is celebrated in the Coptic Orthodox Church. The album offers the listener a journey through Holy Week as each track explores an event in Christ's Passion through the musical prism of the Coptic Church.

For the first time we offer an album in all three languages (Coptic, English and Arabic) to be enjoyed by families and peoples of all backgrounds. This album is also one of the first to include hymns in English accompanied with music. It also includes rare spiritual songs and many melismatic hymns in Coptic never before performed with music. Unlike much of what one hears on the radio, the slower hymns allow for contemplation in stillness in contrast with the fast pace of modern living. This record provides the listener with the opportunity to enjoy a different perspective in hymnology from an ancient heritage.

Chorus Members: Philip Awad, Mina Ghattas, Peter Ibrahim, Mike Morkos, Ronnie Nobar, Safwat Tadros. Sound Engineering and Production by: Tim Neuhaus. Album Artwork by: Tony Rezk and Marwan Maher. Music by: Peter Ibrahim. Recorded at: Earart Studios in Delta, BC, Canada.

Lyrics:
The eyes of all look unto You,
with You is the fountain of Life,
the broken-hearted wait for You,
in Your Light, O Lord, shall we see Light.

Refrain:
Yesterday we died with Him,
the sting of death He has destroyed,
Today we are alive in Him,
He turned our sorrow into joy.

You heard the cries of humanity,
You restored Adam once more,
and awakened the dawn of eternity,
in heaven You made man soar.

Behold, all things are filled with Light,
You revealed the riches of Your grace,
This day we pass from death to Life,
and by Your love we are embraced.
