hey everyone... Im having a real problem with learning the hymn hiten. especially when it comes to church specifics. Like the you know how your church may have certain saint bodies in them so when you sing hiten you may have to say hiten for those certain saints.... Well my church has saint abanoub saint rivga st ulious and simeon the shoe maker and i cant seem to find the hiten for any of them... If anyone knows where i can get it, please help.. thanx alot

God Bless

    well you can construct ones....we mostly do from the commemoration of saints, their history and other hymns and responses for them. also gospel response would be the best to use.

    yeah i know, its jsut that i dont know HOW to contruct them myself. like i know for example for Saint abanoub we say "kirie abanoub pi agios" but i dont know how to say it for like st rivga, or other saints. and I dont know where to get them or how to contruct them myself. My coptic isnt very good. I can read coptic but very slowly and ofcourse my grammer isnt that good. Can anyone show me how to do this its really stopping me from learning this hymn for my church
