Adam Hymn after Adam Theotokias :: مديح أدام عربي يقال بعد الثيؤطوكية الأدام

Your mercies O my God /
Are plenteous. /
Your mercies O my God /
Are countless.

The drops of rain /
Are counted in Your hands, /
Also, the sand of the sea /
Is present before Your eyes.

How much more are my sins /
And my trespasses before You, /
And all that I have done /
Are present before You.

For the sins of my youth, /
Remember them not, O Lord. /
Do not consider my trespasses, /
But leave them O my God.

For You desire not the death /
Of sinners but love their return. /
O God accept my prayer; /
I returned and repented.

You chose the tax-collector, /
The adulteress, You forgave, /
And the thief, You remembered; /
Your mercy is endless.

I am a sinner also— /
O Lord teach me /
To offer repentance; /
Like the adulteress, accept me.

Return us O Lord to Your salvation /
For You are good and merciful. /
Deal with us in Your goodness /
For You are able and generous.

If You judge by Your justice, /
We shall find no defense. /
We await Your goodness /
And plead for Your mercies.

Your mercies O my God /
Are beyond all measures. /
Your mercies O my God /
Are as the countless sand.

Your mercies O my God /
Are more than the stars, /
And the plants of the earth, /
And mountains and cities.

O King of peace /
Grant us Your peace, /
Establish for us Your peace, /
Fill us with Your Spirit.

Disperse the enemies of the Church; /
Fortify her with the faith /
With invincible barriers /
That she may never shaken.

Emmanuel Himself /
Is now in our midst /
With the glory of His Father /
And His Spirit, forever. /

May He bless us all, /
And purify our hearts, /
And heal our sicknesses, /
And save our souls.

We worship the Father, the Son, /
And the Holy Spirit, /
Now and at all times /
And forever. Amen.
