    So to start off:


    Nice music. Copts singing in video?
  • yes :)

    The song says (Excuse my poor translation skills):


    God is with us

    He’s never let go of our hands
    He is attentive of us and our problems
    We are engraved on the palm of His hand (in good and bad times)

    All the goodness we have comes from Him alone
    Only His protection gave us rest
    Problems resolved as soon as the heart calls on him

    All the goodness we have comes from Him alone
    Only His protection gave us rest
    Whenever anyone is in trouble, they find Him.

    God is with us
    Nobody can think about approaching a congregation protected by Jesus
    Go is with us
    What can trouble someone who laid their burden on Him

    God is with us
    Why worry about tomorrow, He will surely take care of it
    God is with us
    All the past and memories witness that He is not far.

    God is with us
    Whatever happens, He can protect his congregation from the beasts
    God is with us
    With His hands our joy will arrive, so you mustn't be scared

    Do you know who loves you mightily?

    Do you know who loves you mightily?
    Who watches over you day and night?
    Who gives you abundantly,
    To resist devil's power?

    Do you know who gave you life?
    Father, mother, a brother of yours?
    And who illuminated you,
    With a brilliant ray of His Spirit?

    Do you know who died for us?
    On Golgotha, do you know?
    And who prepares,
    The promised joys for you, do you know?

    Do you know who loves you mightily?

    You ought to know who does all that,
    Who's the one that loves us so,
    It is Lord from above,
    It is Christ, Saviour for all!

    So you too, oh, remember,
    And give your heart to Him,
    When you wrong Him, burst in tears,
    And ask for forgiveness!

    In the tear of repentance
    Christ's shine shall glitter,
    Put your trust in Him,
    He shall open heaven to you!

    Do you know who loves you mightily?

    Znash li ko te lyubi silno?

    Znash li ko te lyubi silno?
    Ko te chuva dan i noch?
    Ko ti daye izobilno,
    Da odolish vragu moch?

    Znash li ko ti zhivot dao?
    Oca, mayku, brata tvog?
    I ko te je obasyao,
    Svetlim zrakom Duha svog?

    Znahs li ko ye umro za nas?
    Na Golgoti, znash li to?
    I radosti obechane,
    Ko ti sprema znash li to?

    Znash li ko te lyubi silno?

    Morash znati ko to chini,
    Ko to tako lyubi nas,
    To ye Gospod sa visine,
    To ye Hristos, svima Spas!

    Zato i ti, oh, seti se,
    Pa mu svoye srce day,
    Kad mu skrivish, zaplachi se,
    I zamoli oproshtay!

    U toj suzi pokajanja,
    Zablistache Hristov syay,
    Imay u Nyeg' pouzdanya,
    Otvoriche tebi Ray!

    Do you mean Church hymns ? 
    We (Eastern Orthodox) have big diaspora in USA so there is a lot of hymns in English, but sung by Greeks, Russians, Arabs... etc.
    Do you mean Serbian hymns in English? Or Eastern Orthodox hymns in English ?

    This is beautiful! In the Coptic church, we have what is called the Midnight Prasies. (tasbeha in arabic (hint the name of the website)) This is usually done before the Liturgy and after the Vespers. Do the Serbian or any other Eastern Orthodox have any equivalent to it?

    Yes: Orthros


    If this is correct definition of Tasbeha: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasbeha No, we don't have it.

    Do You have after the vesper in Saturday and before Liturgy in Sunday matins (=orthros) ?
    In that case Tasbeha is something different from orthros.
    In Serbia (Russia, Greece...) orthros and vespers are regularly daily services regardless of Liturgy.
    In Serbia and Russia we have in Saturday vigil (vesper and orthros joined) and we are coming in Sunday (in my Diocese at 9 am) and Liturgy starts immediately.
    In Greece in Saturday is only vesper, and in Sunday orthros followed by Liturgy.

    Here is our usual liturgical prayers. For our case I will use the Sunday's liturgy.

    It all starts saturday evening with Agpeya prayers (The Book of Hours) After that we have a set of chants that is called the Vespers Praises (evening tasbeha). Then we have the Vespers Prayers. After the Vespers Prayers, there is more prayers from the Book of Hours and then we start midnight prasies (Midnight tasbeha) The midnight tasbeha should last all night long. Then Sunday Morning we pray the first hour from the Book of Prayers and then we have Matins Prasis. After the Matins prasis, there is matins prayers. At the end, there is the liturgy.

    Then Sunday Morning... we have Matins Prasis. After the Matins prasis, there is matins prayers.

    This should be equivavalent to our Matins (= Orthros).
    So, no, we do not have Tasbeha.

    ps. First hour is in Serbia after Matins.

    What is the literal translation for Orthos? Also, do you mean that you guys have a book of hours too?

    How much I can see at the first glance, our hours have always only 3 psalms, and you have much more.
    Also, we do not read neither epistle nor Gospel on hours, and you do.

    Here is the text we use for hours:

  • Troubles chasin me again,
    Breaking down my best defence,
    I'm looking, God, I'm looking for you
    Weary just won't let me rest, and fear is filling up my head.
    I'm longing, God I'm longing for you

    But I will find you in the place I'm in, find you when I'm at my end,
    Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
    You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
    When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
    I'll find you on my knees.

    So what if sorrow shakes my faith,
    What if heartache still remains,
    I'll trust you, my god I'll trust you.
    'Cas u are faithful and
    I will find you in the place I'm in, find you when I'm at my end,
    Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
    (From: http://www.elyrics.net)
    You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
    When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
    Find you on my knees, my knees.

    When my hope is gone, when the fear is strong
    When the pain is real, when it's hard to heal
    When my faith is shaken and my heart is broken and my joy is stolen, God I know that

    You lift me up, you'll never leave me searching,
    Find you in the place I'm in, find you when I'm at my end,
    Find you when there's nothing left of me to offer you except for brokenness.
    You lift me up, you'll never leave me thirsty,
    When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
    I'll find you on my knees.

    Thank you so much Servos for spending time with us here. I have a few questions.
    I noticed the link you gave us describes the "lesser hours". Is there a "greater hours"? Is that called the "horologion"? The site also has a link to the "Midnight Office". Is this not equivalent to "tasbeha"?

    While we're on the subject of music, can you describe the tones? Does the Serbian church have octoechos? Do you also call them Kurios and Plagal? Can you give us a brief description?

    Thanks.

  • Dear Mnc_hnn and others Coptic brothers and sisters,
    Do Copts have some pop music or hip-hop or any modern band and music group?
    If I searched the forum good, I find lot of Coptic music but only with religious motives.
    So, my question is, do we have some modern pop or rock or hip-hop or whatever Coptic bands ?

    Donot you technically recite Pharaonic songs when you recite the church Coptic hymns?
  • Pharaohs were BC...Christianity is more recent?
