Coptic Tasbeha: Khen Oushoat - Lobsh of the First Canticle (HCOC)
The Explanation or "Lobsh" for First Hos (Canticle) of the Annual Midnight Praise. Prayed by the HCOC Choir (H.G. Bishop Raphael hadn't arrived yet) at the Valley of the Mother of God on friday, May 8th, 2009. Recorded using my N95 8GB.
Lyrics:
With the split, the waters of the sea split, and the very deep, became a walkway.
A hidden earth, was shone upon by the sun, and an untrodden road, was walked upon.
The flowing water, stood still, by a miraculous, act of wonder.
Pharaoh and his chariots, were drowned, and the children of Israel, crossed the sea.
And in front of them was, Moses the Prophet praising, until he brought them, to the wilderness of Sinai.
And they were praising God, with this new psalmody, saying "Let us sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously."
Through the prayers, of Moses the Archprophet, O Lord grant us, the forgiveness of our sins.
Through the intercessions, of the Mother of God Saint Mary, O Lord grant us, the forgiveness of our sins.
We worship You, O Christ, with Your Good Father, and the Holy Spirit, for You have (come) and saved us.
