My Coptic Church

My Coptic Church, the church of the Lord Ancient and Strong, I wish her long life In the early years, After the birth of Christ St. Mark came bearing, The light of the true faith

He dwelt in the land, proclaiming salvation In the name of our Redeemer, Christ who removed our sins

The Copts then believed, in the Lord Jesus And Joy filled all the cities of Egypt In a very very short time, He abolished all idols

The Cross was exalted, the sign of the faith Satan quickly rose, to war the Son of God He stirred the rulers, emperors and armies

He then declared war, on the sons of the faith Deny your Christ, or be thrown in the fire Our honored fathers, elders and youngsters Were not moved by pain, distress nor dishonor

But said courageously, forward no turning back We don't fear fire, Our Lord is Jesus Christ

They were beaten and imprisoned, they lived in oppression They were burned and killed, and tasted every pain By the power of their faith, they overcame their pains And remained believing in, the King of Peace

With blood and suffering, they bought the faith And preserved it for us, in the name of Our Savior

Let us all rise, from our laziness With diligence seeking, the heavenly rewards The Church of the Fathers, you are our pride To her success, let us all join together

My Coptic Church, her faith is orthodox Forever strong, Egypt is for Christ
