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
