Selah III

Adam Psali for the Second Canticle - Let us Give Thanks - Chorus

Our fathers and mothers the martyrs,
I want to live a life like yours (x2)
A life of struggle, blood, and witness. (x2)
You offered to our Lord Jesus
O Martyrs (x2)

O first martyr, St. Stephen,
You spoke the truth in your sermon (x2)
They stopped their ears, so they couldn’t hear it. (x2)
You said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 
O Martyrs (x2)

O St. George the Prince of Martyrs,
You endured seven years of torture. (x2)
You died three times, but you were raised, (x2)
Around the world, your name is praised. 
O Martyrs (x2)

O St. Mina the Wonderworker,
The pure and holy soldier. (x2)
You received three crowns, for your asceticism, (x2)
your chastity and your martyrdom. 
O Martyrs (x2)

O Philopateer Mercurius,
The one who embarrassed Decius (x2)
You received a sword, from the angel (x2)
And refused to worship the idols. 
O Martyrs (x2)

O St. Demiana the pure bride,
You restored your father when he denied, (x2)
You led forty virgins, to monasticism, (x2)
In one day you all received martyrdom. 
O Martyrs (x2)

O St. Abanoub the holy child,
For your faith and youth you were reviled, (x2)
They hung you, from the ship’s mast, (x2)
But your young heart was steadfast. 
O Martyrs (x2)

O martyrs of Libya, the 21,
Your faith shone forth like the sun, (x2)
They said “deny, or die by the sword.” (x2)
You calmly prayed, “O Jesus, my Lord.”
O Martyrs (x2)

Our fathers and mothers the martyrs,
I want to live a life like yours (x2)
A life of struggle, blood, and witness. (x2)
You offered to our Lord Jesus
O Martyrs (x2)

St Mary & St Mina's Chorus
Sydney, Bexley, Australia
Feast of the Assumption 2023

Shere Theotoke & Agios Istin (Live) - St Mary & St Mina's Chanters

Verse 1:
(You call to me I silence You
From all my sin Your path for me
for my eyes is hard to see 

You come to me I run from from You
Oh Lord the fire of Your Love
inside of me has been quenched) x2

Refrain:
Tend to me Oh Lord, Lay Your hands on me
And open for me my eyes
Bring me back to You, back to You

(The day I left You, my joy left me
I was burdened from all my worry) x2
I rest in You alone, I rest in You

Verse 2:
All of my habits and my lusts have multiplied
My many prayers and requests are no more

When I repent my sins do not cease to return
Oh Lord correct me from my ways, please stay with me
(Give me Your hand, and I’ll hold Yours) x2

Refrain

Verse 3:
You know my life from its beginning to the end
You see the troubles of heart, and what I've hidden

I have revealed myself to You, oh my Healer
I am with you in times of fear, giving you comfort
(No one but You has known me) x2
