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.

Confession of the Thief

Sixth Hour - Epistle of St. Paul - Samuel Girgis & Chorus

O only begotten Son, and Word of God, 

(Immortal x2) who being immortal accepted to take flesh, for our salvation, from the holy theotokos and ever-virgin Mary, 

(Without change x2) who without change became man and was crucified, Christ our God, 

(By death x2) who by death, trampled down death, being one of the Holy Trinity, who is glorified with the Father and the Holy Spirit, save us.

O Only - Begotten Son

Holy God, who for our sake, became man, without change, while remaining God. 

Holy Mighty, who by weakness, showed forth what is greater than strength. 

Holy Immortal, who was crucified for us, endured the death of the cross in his flesh, dying while remaining eternal and immortal.
O Holy Trinity have mercy on us.

Daniel Girgis, ordained SDn. Augustine in the Coptic Orthodox Church, has received his Master of Arts in Theology degree from St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in 2021. He has also received his PharmD degree from the SUNY University at Buffalo in 2019. His research focuses on preserving Coptic tradition through the combination and reconciliation of both the oral transmission of Coptic chant and the analysis of liturgical manuscripts; using these two factors to identify and restore authentic and proper ritual practice in the Coptic Rite.
