Acts Response (Grand Melismatic) - Chorus

Your mercies O my God
are countless
and exceedingly plenteous
are Your compassions.

All the raindrops
are counted by You
and the sand of the Sea
is before Your eyes.

How much more are
the sins of my soul
manifest before You
O my Lord.

The sins that I have committed
do not remember my Lord
and do not count
my iniquities.

For You have chosen the publican
and the adulteress You have saved
and the right-hand thief
my Lord You have remembered.

And I too
the sinner
teach me O my Lord
to offer repentance.

For You do not desire
the death of a sinner
but rather that he returns
and that his soul may live.

Restore us O God
to Your salvation
and deal with us
according to Your goodness.

For You are good
and merciful
let Your compassion
speedily come to us.

Have compassion upon us all
O Lord God our Savior
and have mercy upon us
according to Your great mercy.

Remember those
O Christ our Master
be among us
and proclaim and say.

"My peace I
give to You
the peace of My Father
I leave with you."

O King of peace
grant us Your peace
establish for us Your peace
and forgive us our sins.

Disperse the enemies
of the Church
and fortify her that she
may not be shaken forever.

Emmanuel our God
is in our midst
with the glory of His Father
and the Holy Spirit.

May He bless us all
and purify our hearts
and heal the sicknesses
of our souls and bodies.

We worship You, O Christ
with Your good Father
and the Holy Spirit
for You have come and saved us.

Ⲕⲁⲧⲁ Ⲛⲓⲭⲟⲣⲟⲥ (Kata Nikhoros)- Chorus of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Saint Mark in Jersey City, NJ

A stranger I lived in the world
A foreigner like my forefathers
A pilgrim in my attitude
In my thoughts and my desires
A stranger, I have no one to
Unload on him, my thoughts so true
The people do not like my roots
Nor do they understand my end
In craze arise the multitude
In maddening noise without an end
And I remain in solitude
Serenity in my heart felt
A stranger, I can find no home
Nor a corner to rest alone
I cast away the world’s pleasures
Ignoring her callings to me
I went, I dragged away my things
Away from their merry-makings
My heart silent, indifferent
To all they think is important
My listening will never yield
To loud and worldly conversing
I wander off all on my own
So happy to be in the vast
With my timbrel and my cymbal
And melodies of praise I sing
And now comes the holy moment
In which I retreat with my King
I roam about as a spirit
Invisible to on-lookers
The world alien I am to it
A foreigner like my forefathers
My existence is a triumph
No wealth, power to disturb me
No house is here to delay me
Nor any friend or family
And with me are sweet verses
And great proverbs to console me
The Bible here my only lamp
And nothing else to concern me
I do not know of any fear
Nor any bonds that hinder me
No longer does the world rule me
Against me and at times for me
I say to every enemy
Who only wants to seduce me
Beware that now I am alive
A stranger as were my fathers
