Tasbeha - Tenen & Tenooweh Ensok (Live)

Tenen is perhaps one of the most beautiful hymns in the Coptic Orthodox Church, and Tenen is most commonly sung throughout Kiahk (the Coptic month celebrating the nativity).

The hymn's melody is utterly enchanting, reflecting the soul's desire to lift up towards God and to commune with the Creator.

The english translation of the hymn is as follows:

We therefore present an offering and rational worship; we send unto You this day psalmodies for Your glory O our Savior; Hananiah Azariah and Mishael

When they were raised to take glory in their bodies, the angel came down, stopped the fire and it became cool for Hananiah Azariah and Mishael.

They praise and worship God continually.

(The following translation is part of the hymn Tenooweh Ensok)

We follow You with all our hearts, and we fear You, and we seek Your face, O God do not forsake us.

But rather deal with us, according to Your meekness, and according to Your great mercy, O Lord help us.

May our prayers ascend to You, O our Master, like burnt offerings of lambs, and fat calves.

Do not forget the covenant, which You have made with our fathers, Abraham Isaac and Jacob, (Israel) Your saints.

Bless the Lord all you nations, the tribes and all kinds of tongues, Praise Him and glorify Him, above all forever.

Pray to the Lord on our behalf, O three saintly children, Shedrach Meshach and Abednego, that He may forgive us our sins.



This hymn was chanted by Arsani Sidarous and a supporting choir of deacons.

Glory be to God Forever +
