In my Throbbing Heart - قلبي الخفاق

*From the Poems of H.H Pope Shenouda III

In my throbbing heart I have hid Your place,
Deep in my bosom is Your dwelling place.

I have forsaken the world and its pleasures,
And abandoned all so I may live with You.

I have no desire, nor passion, nor
Have I a thought but to follow You.

And my father Jacob I know his secret,
Now I know how he wrestled you.

O kind-heart O how sweet are You!
Mighty and exalted glorious above all

O mighty one with a whip in Your palm,
as Your heart overflows with love for all mankind.

The world is not enough to contain all of You,
How then could my heart compose all of You.

I have left the world and all its pleasures,
And abandoned all so I may live with You.

Lord, I have deserted all but not You,
In the sojourn of life I have none but You.

And my thoughts I prevented from wandering
So where ever You are there my thoughts also

I have forgotten family and friends,
And even forgot myself for Your love.

I forgot them all in love of You.
O joy of my heart, so don't forsake Your child.

You are not far from my soul that awaits
Your visiting call in the calm silence.

Truly You're in heaven, however every
Heart that lived in Your love is also Your heaven.

Here are my eyes and I have closed them
From seeing the world so that I could see You,

And likewise my ears, I have cleared them
From all idle talk, so I could hear Your voice.

In my throbbing heart I have hid Your place,
Deep in my bosom is Your dwelling place (2)

Alternate Resurrection Fraction & Confession - Abouna Antonious Ibrahim Ayad

Hold my hand, O Lord
Like you held Peter's hand
When he started to drown
You gently held his hand

(Lifted him over the waves,
And made him feel safe)x2
(And me too O Lord
Hold my hand) x2

The waves are strong for me
Makes my heart tremble
And the winds O Lord are strong
I’m not able to stand

(When the ship goes up and down
And rocks are in the way) x2
(Tell the waves to be calm
And hold me in Your arms) x2

Enter my ship O Lord
And also in my life
Cast my fear away
And heal all my pain

(And dwell in my heart
And fill it with your peace) x2
(Never leave me alone
To walk in my path) x2

My faith O Lord is weak
Strengthen my faith
And If I ever doubt You
Or get lost in the way

(Bring me back to live
With you all my life) x2
(You are my Father Lord
Your heart is full of love) x2

Hold My Hand, O Lord

Kiahk Psaly for the Holy Trinity chanted before the Third Hoos

+Praise befits the Holy Trinity, The Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, We worship we praise and glorify,  For One God Creator of All Souls.

+To Him is due all Glory and Praise, Worthy of all honor and Heaven, Ancient Existent Before Ages, Eternal Omnipotent Without death.

+Holy God Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal without death, God of the Throne King of Glory, We teach we preach the Trinity.

+Blessed is God the Father the Pantocrator, Blessed is His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, Blessed be His Holy Spirit the Paraclete, To Him is due Worship and Praise.

+He has Great Power and Authority, Wise and Informed Good and Generous, One God in Three Hypostasis, Many Scholars Fail to Describe Him. 

+One Essence and One Nature, One Hypostasis in the Trinity Unique, Three in One in Essence, Without Singularity or Division. 

+One Essence in the Trinity, Without Singularity or Division, One in His Kingdom Existent, Filling Heaven and all Regions.

+A Mystery Exceeding Humanity, According to the Essence One God, But According to the Economy, All Three are One God.

+The Son Begotten Before all Ages, He was born of the Father, But His miraculous birth was natural, and the Holy Spirit Proceeding from the Father.

+Like the Birth of the Sun rays and its heat, and the Sphere sending both, This birth is natural, Without tearing or division. 

+All Three are equivalent, In Essence and in Divinity, In Existence before ages, In Eternal life to the end of Age.

+Daniel Saw in his vision a Throne, and seated upon it ancient of days, The son of man came to Him, and gave him Dignity and Authority.

+He saw the throne like Lightning, Who sat on it like Fire, The hair of His head white as snow, Carrying Him Four Creatures of Fire.

+He saw the four without body, One looked like man one looked like a bull, And the third creature like a lion, and the fourth creature like an eagle.

+Four faces for each of them, and six wings they were full of eyes, with two they covered their legs, and they cover their faces with two and fly with two. 

+Twenty four priests with their Thrones, With golden crowns lit as fire, and golden censors in their hands, with incense raising night and day.

+Around the Throne Thousands and Thousands, and Archangels Myriads of Myriads, Thrones Dominions rows by rows, Praising Him with loudest of voices.

+And at the Chant of the Creatures and Priests, They all Chant with loudest of voices, Proclaiming and Saying Holy Holy, Holy The Living Lord of Hosts.

+Heaven and Earth are Full, of Your Holy Glory and Your Praise, Thine is the Power and the Glory, And all creation shall praise You.

+Alleluia Alleluia, To you belongs greatness and Power, To You belongs Glory and Strength,  To You belongs Authority and Kingdoms.
