A Walkthrough of Midnight Praises

There is nothing sweeter, than the time of prayer
It saves me from my tribulations, and I gain His contentment
It keeps pain away from me, and enlightens my heart 
It opens the gates of heaven, and then my Lord hears me
My necessities He provides, my illnesses he heals 
He does grant me all of my needs, and has me rejoice in them
In time of my sadness, my Lord forgets me not
He holds me with His right hand, and He strengthens my faith
There is nothing sweeter, than the time of prayer
The God of heaven rejoices, and gives me life
He promised salvation, if we pray unto Him
Our sicknesses he can heal them, if we come to Him 
His love for us is great, His mercy is everlasting 
We must always pray to God, prayer time is beneficial

There Is Nothing Sweeter Than The Time Of Prayer - مفيش احلى منها ساعة الصلاة لله

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Preserve my likeness, a gilded Icon
Despite the ailing of my soul 
Image of Holiness, Image of purity
Crafted for me by a master’s hand

Yet your hope for me, was not reality
It was reality, when I was born again
Day after day, my troubles grow
Piling upon me, obscuring that icon

(Refrain)
Restore to me that first Icon
Wrap me in the purest white
Reveal to me your image in me
Restore to me Christ’s own likeness

(2)
I am lost and I am searching
In every person, for any virtue
Yet I cannot be like these others
And cannot find in myself value

And still I search for my likeness in You
Show me its beauty in the midst of trial
Such great plans from the beginning
You have prepared, Sketched in that Icon

(Refrain)
Restore to me that first Icon
Wrap me in the purest white
Reveal to me your image in me
Restore to me, Christ’s own likeness

(Verse 3)
My image in you is drawn with care 
From the beginning, before I came to be 
In every detail, all of my life 
From my birth, until my death 

Prepared for me is victory 
And when I fall, you’re there to lift me
I’ll be triumphant in any trial 
With the sword of faith drawn in my Icon 

(Refrain)
Restore to me that first Icon
Wrap me in the purest white
Reveal to me your image in me
Restore to me, Christ’s own likeness

(Verse 4)
You who accepts a cup of water 
Two mites, five loaves, even two fish 
A pound of ointment from a sinful woman 
Accept from me these offerings 

Accept my life, my poor gifts 
My own weakness, my helplessness
But I love you with all my heart 
You are my God, I have no other 

(Refrain)
Restore to me that first Icon
Wrap me in the purest white
Reveal to me your image in me
Restore to me, Christ’s own likeness

Midnight praises Arabic/English تسبحة نصف الليل

The Hymn of the Seven Tunes; Cantor Bola Mounir 2015

Portion of Gregorian Liturgy | Fr. Misak Mikhail

The Lord is my shepherd
So I need nothing else
even if I walk in the valley
or in the shadows of death

I will never fear anything
with a shepherd next to me
I will never fear anything
with Jesus leading me

From your spirit fill me with joy
Help me walk with you O my Lord
Protect me from any evil thought
Heal my soul O my dear Lord!

I have confidence in Jesus
in bad times He comes to save me
and if someday my soul weakens
He's always there to protect me!

The Lord is my shepherd
So I need nothing else
even if I walk in the valley
or in the shadows of death
