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

Oh Beloved (arabic) + Boles Malek

Fraction To The Son  Fr. Antonious Tanious

(I am the lost sheep and You’re the True Shepherd) x2
(You left on the mountain  the ninety-nine sheep ) x2
(So eager yet patient, You searched left and right) x2
You searched for me with hope
You searched for me with hope

(It was Your kind heart  with the emptiness You felt) x2
(You called for me “Where are you, O My beloved son?”) x2
(Where are you O poor one, I fear you’re in trouble) x2
Where are you, O My child?
Where are you, O My child?

(You found me in the thorns, You came to help me out) x2
(You held me with Your hands and saved me from evil) x2
(Your blood for me was shed from the thorns on Your head) x2
And stayed guarding me
And stayed guarding me

(Your shoulders carried me, You returned me with great joy) x2
(Your humble and gentle arms surrounded me with love) x2
(You kept me safe within the rest of the sheep) x2
Your heart now has comfort
Your heart now has comfort

(I am the lost sheep and You’re the True Shepherd) x2
(You left on the mountain the ninety-nine sheep ) x2
(So eager yet patient You searched left and right) x2
You searched for me with hope
You searched for me with hope
You searched for me with hope
