Why is eferanaf added to the 4th Hoos in Kiahk?

Daniel_Kyrillos

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to why "Unto our God/ⲉϥⲉⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̀ⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ" is added during the Midnight Praise's 4th Hoos? It's not added to the Vespers praise, or to Psalm 150 during communion, so why here?

Thanks!

i always assumed it was because we love to sing extra during kiahk and it has a cool tune.

;)

but probably there is a better reason than this!

it is maybe because we are priasing God extra because of the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. it is a very joyful month.

@mabsoota we love a fun tune xD
From talking to some people at the Didymus Institute it seems like the response emphasizes the “sacrifice of praise” motif in Kiahk. The quote from Psalm 146 is put here because “a psalm is good”, since “*praise* pleases our God.”
