Brighten Up - Feat. George Beshara

Acts Response (Great Fast) -Live

Refrain
In one of my dreams
While sleeping in peace, I saw pure mothers And our Holy, precious Queen 
In one of my dreams
A great and beautiful scene
I saw pure mothers
And our Holy, precious Queen
Verse 1
One was a young martyr
Strong in faith and persevered
She lived with forty friends
The king's threats they never feared
Her father lost his way
But her faith led him to stay
My beloved St Demiana, the Princess of the heavenly (*2)
Quickly I ran to her
Her gaze was sharp and wise 
She urged me to remember To seek the heavenly prize
Verse 2
The next ones share a name
Though their paths were not the same
One left the world in place raised a child in her embrace
The other faced the enemy And triumphed in her bravery
My beloved St Marinas, the vessels of humility (*2)
Quickly I ran to them,
Their eyes were clear and bright
They urged me to remember 
To seek the path of Light
Verse 3
The fourth one loved to pray
Evil could not find its way
The mention of her name
Made Satan burst in flame.
Cyprian's magic failed
And in time his faith prevailed
My beloved St Justina, She fought in Christ's arena (*2)
Quickly I ran to her
Her prayer was deep and true
She urged me to remember 
To pray in all we do
Verse 4 
This mother lived in sin
And strayed from Christ within 
The world would always tempt her
The church she could not enter
To the desert she fled
And lived for Christ instead
My beloved Egyptian Mary, her passions she did bury (*2)
Quickly I ran to her,
Her spirit was filled with glee, 
She urged me to remember, 
Repentance sets us free.
Verse 5
In the temple she grew 
In obedience and virtue
She bore the Son of Man 
To fulfill God's Holy Plan 
For us she intercedes
For all her children's needs.
My beloved St Mary, the Saviour she did carry (*2)
Quickly I ran to her
Her arms were open wide
She urged me to remember 
In Christ we must abide


In One of My Dreams (Saintly Mothers) ft GhobrialG

Moondance

“O Beloved” recalls the salvation we have been granted by our Lord Jesus Christ. He suffered, was ridiculed, condemned, smitten, abused, and was crucified before rising from the dead, effectively raising us from our death in sin. The path of suffering is the same path that led to triumphant glory. We live in His resurrection, so now when we share in His sufferings, when we struggle against evil, when we sacrifice ourselves for the love and salvation of the world, we are also active and faithful participants in His glorious resurrection!

O Beloved

Fr. Andrew Iskander Fraction For The Great Fast

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.

Lord at Rest - English Apocalypse Saturday Melody

As the Deer Pants for the Water - Dr. Joseph Bibawy

Liturgy of St. Cyril prayed at St. Mary & St. Moses Abbey on March 13, 2018

Liturgy of St. Cyril - Fr. Antonious Tanious, Fr. Moises Boghdady, Fr. Theodore Ghaly

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
