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, 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 short time,

He abolished all idols

The cross was exalted, sign of the faith

Satan quickly rose, to fight 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 Christ's
