James 1:2-4 NKJV
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 
knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
But let patience have its perfect work,
that you may be perfect and complete,
lacking nothing.

Lama Akoun Tabaan - Moalem Sameh Kamal

Lyrics:
	I remembered the sins, of my ignorance, I cast off my tears, and sat down and cried.
	All the sighing, of my chest, (are) burning like fire, in my heart.
	The darkness of my mind, I have followed, The commandment of Jesus, I have abandoned.
	All the evil conduct, of my nature, I have followed, without hope.
	Therefore I, have collapsed, like the house, that is built on sand.
	The heavenly beings, but also the earthly, were perplexed because of my sins, as I have become mire.
	Behold I see, that my soul is lifeless, and placed in a tomb, like the dead.
	Gather my brethren, and cry out with me, until the end of time, for I have fallen.
	Egypt is shining, with the oil of prayer, and tearful supplications, in the night.
	For You have snatched me, unless I become humiliated, I who have fallen, among the thieves.
	The instinct of sin, uproot from my heart, and also O Lord, my heart's ignorant thoughts.
	Grant unto me, spiritual wisdom, and vitality, in my prayer.
	That I may be fervent, in the wisdom of speech, and be in fellowship, after the enmity.
	My Master You know, that my instincts, lean towards the ignorance, of this world.
	Woe unto me, if You count my affliction, for great disgrace will fall, upon my weak spirit.
	Lord remit, the afflictions, of my nature, and the weaknesses of my flesh.
	Incline Your ear, quickly to my weakness, as You have accepted, the prayer of the publican.
	Save me O Lover, of mankind, for my instincts have sunk, in the terrors of this world.
	We ask you, O Great King, to remember Your servant, in Your Kingdom.
	Behold a thief, had declared that to You, and You visited him O Lord, with Your mercy and salvation.
	Yours is the honor, Yours is the majesty, O Creator, of heaven and earth.
	Forgive me hastily, that I may rest, for my wickedness and cruelty, are weighty upon me.
	Make me worthy, of the Flesh of Your Son, to renew me, in what pleases Him.
	Shepherd, and Redeemer, seek Your lamb, I the lost.

Lent Psali Adam on the 3rd Hoos - I Remembered The Sins

Lyrics in English:
...As a good shepherd, You have sought after that which had gone astray. As a true father, you have labored with me, I who had fallen.
You have bound me with all the remedies that lead to life. You are He who have sent to me the prophets for my sake, I the sick. You have given me the Law as a help.
You are He who ministered salvation to me when I disobeyed Your Law. As true light, You have shone upon the lost and the ignorant.

Fr. Bernaba - Gregorian Liturgy - As a Good Shepherd

Priest:
You, O my Master, have turned for me the punishment into salvation. As a good shepherd, You have sought after that which had gone astray. As a true father, you have labored with me, I who had fallen.

You have bound me with all the remedies that lead to life. You are He who have sent to me the prophets for my sake, I the sick. You have given me the Law as a help.

You are He who ministered salvation to me when I disobeyed Your Law. As true light, You have shone upon the lost and the ignorant.

People: 
Lord have mercy.

Priest:
You, who are THE BEING at all times, have come to us on earth. You have come into the womb of the Virgin. You, the Infinite, being God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped.

But emptied Yourself, and took the form of a servant, and blessed my nature in Yourself, and fulfilled your law on my behalf You have shown me the rising up from my fall.

You have lifted the curse of the Law. You have abolished sin in the flesh. You have shown me the power of Your authority. You have given sight to the blind. You have raised the dead from the tombs. You have established nature by the word.

You have manifested to me the economy of your tender mercy. You have borne the oppression of the wicked. You have given Your back to the scourge. Your cheeks You have left open to those who smite.

For my sake, O my Master, You have not hidden Your face from the shame of spitting.

People: 
Lord have mercy.

Easter Reenactment 2020 - HG Bishop David, Fr. David Bebawy & David Bebawy

A song written in memorial of H.H. Pope Shenouda III, the 117th Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria.

Lyrics Composed by Mark Semaan.

O Pope Shenouda

This is a hymn for the Man Born Blind.  It is typically recited during communion of the sixth week of the Great Lent.  The attached audio is a recording of the hymn in Arabic.

I am the blind without a companion
I don’t have a friend or a pal
Sitting to beg in the street
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Refrain:
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

It was announced to me about the news
Jesus is coming among the multitudes
i cried have mercy on me Jesus
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

One of the disciples rebuked me
For my cries he criticized me
But Jesus came and asked me
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

I don’t care about the criticizers
Jesus is faithful and his promises are true
He spat on the floor and made clay
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

And the Lord of peace said to me
Go, my son, speedily
And wash in the Silwam Lake
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

And I turned intently
With haste and eagerly
And washed my eyes from the clay
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Jesus healed me the blind
My heart from joy is overflowing
I was blind and now I see
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

I returned to Jesus with great joy
And I worshipped Him with humility
Confessing that He is the Savior
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

At all times I will witness
To the Redeemer of sins I will inform
I was blind and now I see
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

If you come to Him O sinner
He’ll help you, trust me, Jesus loves you
And He’ll open the eyes of your heart
Opened my eyes, my beloved Jesus

Teoi Enhikanos (Live)

Lyrics:
Judas (6) who has broken the law.

With silver you have sold Christ / to the Jews, who had broken the law. / But those contrary to the law / they took Christ. / They nailed Him / on the Cross / in the place of Kranion.

Judas (6) who has broken the law.

Barabas, the thief, / and the condemned, was set free / and the master, the judge, they crucified. / They pierced a spear in Your side; / and as a thief they nailed You on the cross. / And they laid you in a tomb. / O You who raised Lazarus from the tomb. 

Judas (6) who has broken the law.

Because as Jonah stayed / three days in the belly of the whale; /  likewise, our Savior stayed three days. / And after he died, they sealed the tomb.

Judas (6) who has broken the law.

Truly He rose, / but the soldiers were not aware; / that truly, the Savior of the world has risen, / He who suffered and died for our sake / O Lord, glory be to You. Amen.

Lyrics:
I start with the name of the holy God, 
The Immortal, Eternal, and Judge, 
Our Savior, the Reviver of souls,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

With planning and wisdom He came,
He took flesh as man, 
And freed us from our slavery,

For the salvation of those in sadness, 
And the Eternal Word took flesh

He united His divinity with,
His humanity and He is the Judge,
We praise Him and increasingly exalt Him. 
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Nine full months not less,
Who when mentioned the ranks proclaim, 
Holy Immortal have m ercy on us.

Our Master willingly saved us
And returned Adam to his home. 
After he was overwhelmed with sorrow.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He is Eternal, Immortal, and worshiped
Who turned the water into wine in jars 
Who was crucified by the Jews.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Kind, merciful, exalted, and honored
Greatness, and might are due to Him. 
He dwelt in Joachim's daughter's womb.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He erased the shame from Adam and his sons
By His incarnation from the Lady of the world. 
And the universe rejoiced with its dwellers,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He was truly named the Son of God
And named also the Son of man
And He is the One God without separation

Worshiping before the Judge. 
Proclaiming with gladness and greatness,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

To the Son of God the forgiver. 
She puzzled the scholars.

A light shone forth from David's house
Who lead the sons of men,
To Whom the ranks of the throne worship,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He bowed the heavens and came down
For the salvation of Adam His servant.
Let us all praise Him saying
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He appeared united with humanity,
And opened the eyes of the blind. 
And He is the One of might and power.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Great is the Lord of hosts
Whom John worshiped profoundly 
In his mother Elizabeth's womb
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

The forgiver of all sins and iniquities.
Healed the sick and cured Simon’s mother-in-law,
And for the salvation of Adam, was crucified,
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He saved Adam and granted him
Salvation after his sadness,
He saved him from tribulations and captivity.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

He accepted for us all that suffering
From the oppressors, Caiaphas and Annas. 
And the Jewish people the stiff-necked.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Honored Forgiver and Knowledgeable,
He spoke to Mary in the garden. 
Our Savior, the Almighty God.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

To the Lord is the earth and whats in it,
All the cities and its inhabitants. 
He lets creation die and revives it.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Persian Kings came to Him
With their three different presents. 
And in Bethlehem, they worshiped Him. 
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

A Star shined at that time,
So they saw Him in those cities. 
He was leading them in darkness.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Grant us mercy
O You Who was sought by the Persians. 
And dwell with Your Holy Spirit in us. 
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Keep Your people from all evils.
And grant peace unto the Church.
And also, let Her servants be sons of light.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Do not forget them O Holy One,
Accept their prayers and oblations. 
Keep them from the devil's traps.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

O, You Who accepted the Publican.
And brought forth Jonah from the whale's belly. 
Keep the evils' trap away from them.
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

And the psalter who is sinful
Pleads for Your forgiveness. 
And the gain of the joy of paradise
Holy Immortal have mercy on us.

Bright Saturday - 01 - Agios Athanatos Nai Nan

The Gospel read during Matins of the Bright Saturday as it is sung in the half sad and half annual tune.

Bright Saturday - 01 - First Hour Psalm & Gospel

Lyrics:
I was small among my brothers, and the youngest in my father’s house; I tended my father’s sheep. My hands made a harp; my fingers fashioned a lyre. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

And who will tell my Lord? The Lord Himself; it is He who hears. It was He who sent His messenger and took me from my father’s sheep, and anointed me with his anointing oil. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

My brothers were handsome and tall, but the Lord was not pleased with them. I went out to meet the Philistine, and he cursed me by his idols. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

But I drew his own sword; I beheaded him. And took away disgrace from the people of Israel. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Bright Saturday - 01 - Psalm 151 (Draft)

Praise Him, Glorify Him, and exalt Him above all forever; His Mercy.  He is praised, He is glorified, He is exalted above all ages. His mercy is forever.
