Blessed Are You O Anba Bishoy | Hymn Lyrics

Refrain:
(Blessed are you…
Blessed are you)2
(Anba Bishoy, blessed are you)2

All the monks
Beseeched with their heart
To see their God
With love, you listened to them
You raised up prayers
Your God replied
And told them of the time
They were rejoiced in the Lord

They all rejected Him
But you accepted Him
You came right to Him
With love, you carried Him
God then promised you
My beloved, blessed are you
Your body will not decay
For ever and ever more

You healed the sick
You made him happy
You comforted the lost
And gained the prodigal
Your monastery is a refuge
That is full of saints
Anba Sarabamon the righteous
And our pure fathers

On the 8th of Abib
O beloved of the Beloved
In your precious feast
All rejoice with you
Thousands and thousands in your monastery
They love you you and come to you
They intercede and shout
They praise you and say
