Amazing coptic orthodox hymn Epouro (O king of peace) + lyrics - Ibrahim Ayad. Epouro is known as one of the most beautiful hymns in the coptic orthodox church.
Here's a translation of the song, if that helps: "O king of peace, give us your peace, establish your peace, and forgive us our sins. Disperse the churches enemies, and fortify her, that she may not, be shaken forever. Emmanuel our God, is now in our midst, with His Father's glory, and the Holy Spirit. To bless us all, purify our hearts, and to heal the illnesses, of our souls and bodies. We worship you O Christ, with Your Good Father and the Holy Spirit, for You have come and saved us."
This is a very important language. Without it's survival, Egyptian hieroglyphics may never have been translated. Jean-François Champollion was smart enough to realize the similarities between the two.
Actually the Muslim occupiers were the first to realise the link. The Sufi Dhul-Nun al-Misri who lived in the late 9th century wrote an Arabic-Coptic treatise. He even speculated that the ancient hieroglyphics on the many crumbling ruins throughout Egypt were also a variant of Coptic, but he had no evidence to prove his hypothesis. It would take almost 8 centuries before Napoleon arrived on the scene - and the Rosetta stone was discovered and translated by Champollion.
@Karim Mabrouk Wow, look at what I started years ago. Regardless, it was very interesting what Champollion realized. Hieroglyphics were a phonetic alphabet, not a symbolic one. I.e., it used characters that corresponded to sounds. Just like the Latin alphabet most of us use today. Previously, it was thought they were symbolic, and that each character represented a concept. Sort of like how Chinese basically made a character for every word. Until Champollion, it was thought that their meaning was lost to time.
And unfortunately Coptic churches in the west have removed it from the Holy Liturgy and the you g generation are growing up extremely westernised and see no value in preserving the language in western countries. Also for some reason people in leadership believe somehow transforming the church to appear more modern and progressive that it'll attract people..
Very beautiful! As a Muslim Egyptian, I salute and express my gratitude to my Christian brothers for conserving the precious language of our ancestors. God bless us all and help us restore our damaged bonds.

sanjay puranik The old Egyptian was speak Hieroglyphics language until the greek came to Egypt 500 B.C and gover Egypt to update the Hieroglyphics language to mix of Hieroglyphics and greek language to be this beuatiful language Coptic
sanjay puranik It's complicated. Several different blood lines were added but typically this was the ruling class and a lot less mixing happened than one might think. It's hard to define "original" bloodlines since there is evidence of kinglets from before the archaic period indicating that Egyptan culture developed in a similar fashion to greece with more or less isolated city states speaking similar dialects and worshipping the same pantheon. The difference is that Egypt's history has gone through quite a few phases. It should also be noted that Makourye and Nobatia just south of upper (southern) Egypt had developed parallel civilizations with Extremely similar albeit slightly distinct linguistic and religious rites. These kingdoms at certain intervals invaded and ruled Egypt. installing several dynasties like the kushites famous among them would be Taharqa and in turn were invaded and ruled by egypt. Likewise from Asia the hyksos tribes set up the 13th or 14th dynasty if I remember correctly in lower(north egypt) and spent The majority if their time wiping out the rival Egyptian 15 16 and 17th dynasties to the south. you can tell by they're pharoahs distinctly Semitic names. That they won that one for a time. Until finally Intef and his line up to king Ahmose kicked them out again. All of this is even before the Assyrian invasion, the Persian dynasties, the Macedonian, ptolemy era, the roman era, and so on. The point is it's a long story. Much has changed culturally. As far as we can tell, by blood, little has changed but at the same time we don't have a large enough sample group of bodies from 3000+ years ago to test and see.
Our church hymns will NEVER be extinct. The Lord Jesus is the only One responsible for the preservation of the church, He DIED for her, she is His bride. Nothing man can do to save or destroy her and her hymns.
This Coptic chant which is fabulous comes from ancient Egyptian religions and its development of that. Same kind of hymn and language. we can go back to 1000 BC with this
@@lrimunlmorin7947 if you knew history you would know under Chalcedonian rule the copts suffered unbearable persecutions with their noses and ears cut off and the taking of their churches. The Islamic invasion was a break from chalcedonian persecutions up until the 7th century. The muslims made the copts pay gizia which was more of a mercy compared to what the chalcedonians did but later on the persecution got worse and thats where we are now.

Egypt was always just a commodity to them, a place with many poor and ignorant people that could easily be swayed from one theology to another so long as it came with bread and self pity. Now 1400 years later, those same ignorant poor people are singing the praises of their slave-god and the swindlers that led them to worship it even as those *exact teachings* are causing their gradual extinction.
Ik woon nu al 16jaar in nederland en ben geboren in Egypte! Het woord daar steeds moeilijker voor de coptische bevolking om te leven !:( Insha'allah komt alles goed ! Peace from Holland to al the coptics and al the another christ! And Peace to EGYPT!

I'm considered an Augnostos deacon in the Copitic Orthodox Church although I haven't been formally ordained yet, my knowledge and teaching is approved by the priests, deacons and sub-deacons. The issue is in the Coptic use of nature vs. substance. Christ's nature is one, seeing that there is only One Christ, just like our St.Cyril and our teacher Discourus taught using the analogy of wine and water and the heat that radiates from a sword in the furnace. In Coptic terminology, Christ is "of"...

When the greek came to Egypt the greek language mixed with Ancient Egyptian language to update to be Coptic language until the Arab came and we start to speak only Arabic and use coptic only in the church praying.
Coptic developed from Heratic Egyptian, Heratic also is the mother of ProtoSinaitic which is the root of Phoinician, Greek, Aramaic, Syriac, Hebrew and Arabic
i do not where you live, but probably there is a coptic church near you, make the effort to go there once and ask speak to the preast, may you find inside peace through christ. peace of christ, there is no hasard in life, if you ve come on this hymn! i ve prayed for you. bless you knoxville
@Thrusce The vast majority of Copts remained Oriental Orthodox. Those who became Chalcedonian were few and were primarily Greeks who had some particular connection to the Empire.
This is what is called Miaphysitism. We are Miaphysites, neither monophysites, nor diophysites. It's been a label that we as Copts along with the rest of the Oriental churches have been labeled with since the Council of Chalcedon, and hopefully one day, with the amount of openness in the media and the readily available means of communication, we may be able to clarify as part of the Oriental churches that we are diaphysites, to those who still see us as Monophysites.
The tune itself was originally used to welcome a Pharaoh or later on a King or ruler into a city or town, later the church adopted the tune and put in lyrics more fitting to Christianity, it is now said in the Coptic church to welcome a pope, bishop or on occasions such as Easter and Christmas and other feasts of the church.
@Rahula Thank you for adding this important detail. To me it is further evidence that the Holy Spirit kept this Church separate and unique for a purpose, just as he did with many other branches of the one Church.
@YemeniteChanter We chant the hymns in coptic, but many parts of the liturgy and other services are done in the native tongue. For example, in Egypt they pray in coptic and arabic, in canada we pray in english, coptic and arabic.
Knoxvilleguy2 Coptic church is one of the oldest churchs in the world. It was established by St Mark the Apostle in the 1st Century. The Copts kept the same traditions, teachings,books and even hymns until this very day. They did not adopt any other religions in their church or any old religions such as Isis or Horus and Defiantly does not have any relationship with Buddhist teachings or Hindus. All their sources come from The Holy Bible Thank you - God bless
JohnCrysosstom: I heard that the Coptic Christians adapted many elements from the ancient Pharaonic Egyptian traditions, but couldn't really confirm whether it was true. Thank you.
@PETE1DUDE i know the daughter of an coptic priest. her family is one of the rare who kept the coptic tradition. they speak it fluently. because i think there will be never again such a oppurtunity i just started to learn reading coptic and a little vocabulary from her :)
Understood. I attended a festival at a Greek orthodox church one time, I asked one fellow about it, & he acted like I had asked him a very sensitive question !! I guess one could say that I came from a standard Protestant Christian background then became somewhat liberal after studying a number of different belief systems, including Evolutionary Creationism & Intelligent Design.
and here is a translation for epouro: O King of peace, grant us Your peace, confirm Your peace unto us, and forgive us our sins. Scatter the enemies of the Church, fortify her stronghold that She may never be shaken
@naeel6150 There was a schism in 451 over the Council of Chalcedon. Some Copts accepted the Council and joined the Orthodox churches, while others did not and remained with the Oriental Orthodox group of churches, in my view a more ancient tradition. God seems to like having different churches, because one church by itself can't see the whole truth. We need different perspectives, but we all love the same Lord Jesus Christ.
Anyone who has heard the recitation of the Quran will immediately find comfort in the tone and melody of this hymn. I wonder whether the reason Egyptian Quran reciters are different in the Maqamat they recite in due to the indirect influence of hymns such as these. I also think this is the closest thing we’ll get to Ancient Egyptian singing
Brothers and sisters u can now learn coptic as a everyday language not just a luturgic language, we have a yahoo and a facebook group, coptic fonts for yahoo and messenger and many courses with grammers and words :) anouk ou rem en kimi pe, god bless
The Coptic church still keeps the exact teachings of St Mark when he came and preached about Christianity. St Mark is the first Bishop of Alexandria so that means the Orthodox church is still keeping the same traditions.
There is connection too. Persian Empire were in connection with the Judaism, Oprhism (Alexander the Great asked the Oracle in Perperek, the ancient Thracian City of Orphism, later christian). But this all is because all have Common Begining. But for me the most pure and preserved concepts are in the early Christian Mysticism.

God seems to like having different churches, because one church by itself can't see the whole truth. We need different perspectives, but we all love the same Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you & bless you too, ramses01001 !!
@saftaromanul god bless you , pray for us copts
Anyone who has heard the recitation of the Quran will immediately find comfort in the tone and melody of this hymn. I wonder whether the reason Egyptian Quran reciters are different in the Maqamat they recite in due to the indirect influence of hymns such as these. I also think this is the closest thing we’ll get to Ancient Egyptian singing
LOVE
Of course. I'm certainly not disputing that. I never have.
to download this hymn;
google "tasbeha" go to the 1st link, and search for "Epourou" by Ibraham Ayyad:-)

Yeaas,Bss
haha, dont worry about that guy bro,
im Coptic Orthodox as well. it is what it is, and has been for centuries.
dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
I just double - checked on the Wikipedia.
Peace & God bless.
The Coptic church still keeps the exact teachings of St Mark when he came and preached about Christianity. St Mark is the first Bishop of Alexandria so that means the Orthodox church is still keeping the same traditions.
There is connection too. Persian Empire were in connection with the Judaism, Oprhism (Alexander the Great asked the Oracle in Perperek, the ancient Thracian City of Orphism, later christian). But this all is because all have Common Begining. But for me the most pure and preserved concepts are in the early Christian Mysticism.
you're very welcome :) Hope you liked it
@Thrusce
Not sure what you mean. What do you mean by "many other branches of the One Church"?
