The following is from a Greek Orthodox s…

I have 2 guesses one from the OT and one from the NT
1)David he was a great RULER.
2) St. John the Baptist, he called all to make STRAIGHT the path of the Lord.
Those are acronyms not abbreviations. Those I get, but I still don't get the ones that Coptic Servent posted before. My favorite so far is PUSH.
For clarification:

There are issues with the translation of this hymn. Parts of it are not translatable. It appears that it has become a mix or Coptic, Greek, and words that cannot not be found in either lexicon. There are some translations, but they are imperfect. He…
