Lyrics:

Oh Creator of Love, Oh refuge of my soul
You are the guarantee in the midst of my journey 
I am in need of You
I am in need of You
I need from You a power to raise me
You, Oh Lord, alone
You, Oh Lord, alone
You aid me when I’m weak
And have mercy

Oh my master, I want to delve so deep in you
Revive me! Give life to me
I want to see the light of your love
Shining inside of me (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!
To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

Oh Creator of Love, Oh source of my power
While in the midst of my sorrows, You are my comforter
I am longing for You
I am longing for You 
I long for You to live in me, oh my King
You, by Your spirit
You, by Your spirit
Throughout my life and journey, You are leading 

Oh my Master, come change my life by Your spirit
And reign over my will 
Touch my heart, my senses and the world wherein I dwell (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!
To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

Oh Creator Of Love

O Tell Me John O Tell Me

O Seeker to Meet Jesus

Lyrics:
We worship the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, hail to the Church, the house of the angels.

+ Hail to the Virgin, who gave birth to our Savior, hail to Gabriel, who announced to her the good news.

Hail to Michael, the archangel, hail to the twenty four, presbyters.

+ Hail to the Cherubim, hail to the Seraphim, hail to all the hosts, of the heavens.

Hail to John, the great forerunner, hail to the, twelve apostles.

+ Hail to our father Mark, the Evangelist, the destroyer, of the idols.

Hail to Stephen, the first martyr, hail to George, the morning star.

+ Hail to the whole choir, of the martyrs, hail to Abba Antony, and the three Macarii.

Hail to the whole choir, of the cross-bearers, hail to all the saints, who have pleased the Lord.

+ Through their prayers, O Christ our King, have mercy upon us, in Your kingdom.

The virginal birth, and the spiritual emissions, are an amazing wonder, according to the prophets.

+ Hail to Bethlehem, the city of the prophets, where Christ was born, the second Adam.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever, in one hypostasis, we worship and glorify Him.

+ O King of peace, grant us Your peace, render unto us Your peace, and forgive us our sins.

Disperse the enemies, of the Church, and fortify her, that she may not be shaken forever.

+ Emmanuel our God, is now in our midst, with the glory of His Father, and the Holy Spirit.

May He bless us all, and purify our hearts, and heal the sicknesses, of our souls and bodies,

+ We worship You O Christ, with Your good Father, and the Holy Spirit, for You were born and saved us. Have mercy upon us.

Festive Verses of Cymbals for the Feast of the Nativity

You're my protector
From all that is evil
You hold me by the right hand
My heart with You rejoices 

(R) You're the true Shepherd 
You carry me on Your shoulders
You take me to green pastures
Your love is overwhelming

You're always with me
You will never leave me
Your voice is within me
"Do not fear, My Child"

You will elevate me
In the midst of my suffering
You strengthen my weakness
You are my true fortress 

You will support me
In times of tribulations
Your hand guides me
Doing good for me

You're The True Shepherd

His Sweet Voice - Erin Melek & Anthony Marcos feat. Father Suriel Costandi
Oud by Moura Raghib

Once I wandered so far away
from my Good Savior Jesus.
He came to me, He who saved me,
and called for me to return.

Refrain: 
His sweet voice did call me, call me:
“Prolong not thy straying away.
O dear child, return quickly, 
and come to Me, come to Me!”

Cruel thorns left my feet to bleed out,
wounds and agony unparalleled.
I heard the Voice call out to me,
“Thou art in error, return.”

Never did I ever care to 
heed to Him, nor to His words.
Therefore I walked away with His
warnings of pain in contempt.

My path grew ever more treacherous,
menacing darkness has prevailed.
I cried in my profound anguish:
“Where is Thy delightful Face?”

My grief has exceeded limits
due to my straying away. 
Desolated, I requested: 
“O my Savior! Come to me!”

Straightaway, a light shone brightly,
O how radiant it was!
My tender Redeemer with a
smile appeared to my aid.
