Coptic Hymns in English

Lyrics:

Jesus is knocking on your heart every day
Hoping you’ll open for Him to come in and stay
Hurry up open the door without delay
Before your time runs out and He walks away
Right away, right away, open the door without delay
Make use of the precious time He's given you
Hurry up open for Jesus right away

Open your heart to the Lord who died for you
He promised rest to the weary and comfort too
If you’re lost He will guide you back to His way
If you’re weak He’ll give you strength to make it through
Right away, right away, open the door without delay
Make use of the precious time He's given you
Hurry up open for Jesus right away

We’ll live in heaven with him forevermore
Over there where hurt and pain will be no more
Hurry up fill up your lamp and wait for Him
Hurry up before you miss the open door
Right away, right away, open the door without delay
Make use of the precious time He's given you
Hurry up open for Jesus right away

Psalm 23 NKJV

The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me to lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside the still waters 

He restores my soul
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil for you are with me 
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me 

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
My cup runs over

Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me all the days of my life 
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

Alleluia

* "Suppose a man were in the middle of a river in full flood, and overwhelmed by the water lay lifeless, drowned, with dreadful monsters all round him. If another man, who is not used to swimming, should wish to save the one who fell in, he too is lost, and is drowned with him. Clearly there is need of a skilled swimmer, an expert, to go out into the depth of the water of the gulf, and dive, and bring up the drowned man there among the monsters...The soul, in the same way, has been plunged and drowned in the abyss of darkness and the deep of death, and is dead and parted from God among dreadful monsters; and who is able to go down into those secret chambers and the depths of hell and death, except that expert Workman who fashioned the body? In His own person He enters into two quarters, into the depth of hell, and into the deep gulf of the heart, where the soul with its thoughts is held fast by death, and brings up out of the darksome hole the Adam that lay dead." + Fifty Spiritual Homilies of St. Macarius the Egyptian (Homily 11.12)
