Deacon Antonious- Ba-alaktor-kuku (Christology Conention summer 2014)

Lyrics-

Refain: The institute of the Coptic language---I love you (x2)

You are a blessing for Egypt---and the Egyptians 
Throught you they will know---coptic

You are a sun that shined---God confirmed you
I was blessed---when I became acquainted with you

You taught me how to speak my language in my land
and to pray with understanding---and to sing with joy

I live in your heart---and you in my heart
for God the merciful---has prepared you for me

Apocalypse Saturday Communion Melody "Ah Ya Nayem" 2016 Live

The Fourth Canticle In Coptic (Tasbeha Psalms 148, 149 And 150)

Nim Ghar Section With Tabla

This melody is found in Upper Egypt, specifically in Moharraq Monastery, the church of St. John of Heraclia and in Assiut. The cantors that preserved this song were Cantor Tawfik Youssef, Cantor Habib Hennawy and Cantor Fayez of Assiut.. In Arabic its title is "Ah ya nayem". It is to be chanted liturgically during communion on Bright Saturday AFTER Banoudi Banoudi (Panouti Panouti). 

Refrain: 
Lord at rest, • Lord at rest, • Lord at rest, • in the tomb. 
Are you living, • or dead? • "I live • forever." 

On the day of • your crucifixion, • you were silent • and still. 
Rise quickly, • O beloved. • Scoffers claim that • you’ve been killed.

Hearts afflicted • wait for you. • Those who mourn • call out to you.
We have no other • comforter. • There is no other • king but you.

David the prophet, • concerning me, • said my body • will not decay.
Rest assured, then, • that my body • is not abandoned, • left to lay.

Lazarus, come • forth untied; • see the tomb of • mystery.
Jesus Christ, • who gave you life, • was crucified • on the tree.

I am living. • I am coming • to take those • who believe
To my throne, • to my glory, • to my kingdom, • eternally.

I will wipe • every tear • from the eyes • of my sheep.
I will gird myself • and serve you, • O my children, • with victory.

Our souls yearn • for you deeply, • O dormant one in • the sepulcher.
Will you rise • and return, • or from us • have you turned?

I have finished • my saving work, • as was written • in the scriptures.
Your redemption • was not completed • till I bore death • and suffered.

Cast away • all fear, • and remove •all worry.
I've defeated • my enemies. • I will rise and • set you free.

He whose hands were • pierced has risen. • Risen is the • King of Peace.
Putting to shame the • adversary. • Truly risen, • King of Glory.

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.
