1- Dear abouna, I love you, Because you are the one who Can know me and call my name, And bless me when I come to you. 2- After the name of the saint, Martyr, confessor, prophet, A precious name, O abouna, Was given when you're ordained. 3- Abouna, that helps remind Of a life sanctified. Their intercessions and your prayers Are accepted to our Lord. 4- The wisdom has built her house, Hewn out her seven pillars; (Prov. 9:1) Seven sacraments abouna Serves them for our sake. 5- Prayers for the perfect peace, The safety of every place With the raising of incense, Matins, vespers, and in mass. 6- Whenever I go around, I remember how you sound In sermons, but most of all, By your example I'm bound. 7- Like a faithful good shepherd You work hard to restore us. Into the shed we get together, And be happy with our Lord. |
