Theotokia Medley

PSALMIST CHOIR, A CHOIR FORMED BY THE YOUTH OF ST MARY AND ST ABRAAM CHURCH IN BRIGHTON, ENGLAND; GLADLY PRESENT TO YOU OUR DEBUT ALBUM 'ARISE O CHILDREN' THE FOCUS OF THIS ALBUM IS TO PRESENT THE ANCIENT HYMNS OF THE MIDNIGHT PRAISES IN THE COPTIC ORTHODOX CHURCH. OUR AIM IS TO REFLECT THESE HYMNS IN A WAY THAT CAN APPEAL SPIRITUALLY AND MUSICALLY TO ALL AGES. THESE HYMNS HAVE BEEN PRESERVED AND PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. THESE HYMNS WILL BRING SPIRITUAL GROWTH,
CONTEMPLATION AND JOY TO THE WORSHIPPER. DURING THE TASBEHA, THE INHABITANTS OF EARTH JOIN THE HEAVENLY HOSTS TO PRAISE OUR SAVIOUR. THE FIRST HYMN TENTHINO, WHICH IS
TRANSLATED TO ARISE O CHILDREN IS CHANTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MIDNIGHT PRAISES, WHICH CRIES UNTO THE LORD TO AWAKEN US FROM OUR SLUMBER TO PRAISE HIM BEFITTINGLY.

O sing unto him- Aripsalin

Kiahk Midnight Praise - Saturday Psali and Theotokia

Oh Creator of Love, Oh refuge of my soul
You are the guarantee in the midst of my journey 
I am in need of You
I am in need of You
I need from You a power to raise me
You, Oh Lord, alone
You, Oh Lord, alone
You aid me when I’m weak
And have mercy

Oh my master, I want to delve so deep in you
Revive me! Give life to me
I want to see the light of your love
Shining inside of me (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!
To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

Oh Creator of Love, Oh source of my power
While in the midst of my sorrows, You are my comforter
I am longing for You
I am longing for You 
I long for You to live in me, oh my King
You, by Your spirit
You, by Your spirit
Throughout my life and journey, You are leading

Oh my Master, come change my life by Your spirit
And reign over my will 
Touch my heart, my senses and the world wherein I dwell (2x)

Oh Creator of Love! 
Here I am to You, screaming!
I am returning to You. 
To You, I’m returning!
To Your embrace, I’m returning!
To Your path, I’m returning!
To Your love, I’m returning!
Oh Creator of Love (2x)

In the Church’s embrace
We found the sweetest life
Life with our Lord Christ
Is above all success

Our Church is strong and steadfast
Solid throughout the years
From her fountain of compassions 
And her teachings we live 

The soldiers of the faith
The courageous the saints
Who sacrificed their lives
To preserve it for us

They were on earth living
With Christ were rejoicing
Their lives sacrificing 
In Christ’s love abiding

In the Church’s embrace
We found the sweetest life 
Life with our Lord Christ
Is above all success

Our Church is strong and steadfast
Solid throughout the years
From her fountain of compassions 
And her teachings we live
