Holy Spirit, you are our comforter, You sanctify our souls, I need you. Coptic Church, you are our blessing and pride, Through your sacraments we are saved, I serve you. Agios 0 Theos, Agios Issheros, Agios Athanatos, Eleyson Emas. AS WE GATHER As we gather may Your spirit work within us. As we gather may we glorify Your name. Knowing well that as our hearts begin to worship. We’ll be blessed because we came, Oh Lord. We’ll be blessed because we came. The Steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning, new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness, Oh Lord. Great is Thy faithfulness.
