Lyrics:
St. Arsenius, noble and wise,
Left the court with tearful eyes,
From Rome to Egypt's arid land,
He sought God's love, so pure and grand.
In the desert sands so wide,
St. Arsenius walks without pride,
Seeking wisdom, peace, and grace,
In God's presence, he finds his place.
His pupils, Arcadius and Honorius,
Learned from him, their hearts curious,
Humility and prayer they'd embrace,
Guided by St. Arsenius's grace.
In the desert sands so wide,
St. Arsenius walks without pride,
Seeking wisdom, peace, and grace,
In God's presence, he finds his place.
In Scetis' desert, he found his way,
Simple robes, a life of constant pray,
John the Dwarf, with stern rebuke,
Taught him virtue, to live like St. Luke.
In the desert sands so wide,
St. Arsenius walks without pride,
Seeking wisdom, peace, and grace,
In God's presence, he finds his place.
No perfumes now, just palm leaves' scent,
Arsenius chose a life well-spent,
Tears of devotion flowed like streams,
In God's presence, he'd lose himself in dreams.
In the desert sands so wide,
St. Arsenius walks without pride,
Seeking wisdom, peace, and grace,
In God's presence, he finds his place.
Fifty-five years, his solitary quest,
A saintly path, where angels rest,
St. Arsenius, anchorite so true,
We sing your praises, joyful and new!
In the desert sands so wide,
St. Arsenius walks without pride,
Seeking wisdom, peace, and grace,
In God's presence, he finds his place.
