The city has been destroyed, the surviving people have run for their lives and civilization has failed. I weep for Syria. God save Syria!
Tom Steele Syria is alive and Will be well soon!!
Tom Steele God save all of us who cannot live in peace with each other.
We say we love God but hate each other.
We think it pleases Him when we destroy those who do not look like us.
Or worship Him as we do.
Surely,He loves all of us as a Father when we call out to Him in our distress.
God bless Syria and Christians
Love you all my brothers and sisters...stay strong in Jesus our lord...our prayers are for all of you in midst of your sufferings...from India with love...

Wow the last hymn is beautiful and her voice is so heart felt .
The hymn is called Ftah Li mor (Open for me, Lord). It says:
Open for me, Lord, your door, full of mercies, just as you opened it for the sinful woman.
Accept my tears which I present for you, and grant me forgiveness of sins.
You are the water of life which I took as my companion that I may not have to ask water from Abraham (Lazarus and The Rich man) for I heard the story of the rich man asking for water from his fingertip.
@surgerryy
yes there is an album. I bought it in 1995. I believe if I remember correctly "Liturgie de l'Eglise Syrique Jacobite" but im not sure of the spelling. Its somewhere in my collection in Beirut. I will dig it up and write the correct name.
This is incredible, so beautiful and having the cd itself is a treasure in that it explains about the various styles of liturgical chants and gives a description and translation of each hymn.
"Will You Board the Divine Vessel, About to Set Sail?
We came here to await the Way that will save all beings
Yet blinded have we become, over all these lifetimes
The Way, however sought, could little be found
Lengthy chatter over scriptures proved empty
At Day’s End the Creator props up the falling sky
But a Red Scourge attacks as He offers the Way
The test falls to each of us to discern true from false
Will you board the divine vessel, about to set sail?

beautiful singing and Aleppan evening
I am looking for recordings of music of the Urfalee community in Aleppo, which I read has the oldest music in the christian world. Is any of this from that community? Or does anyone know where to find it? Either way, this is so beautiful.
syriac influenced arabic dialect of syria. like amazigh influenced arabic in morocco and coptic influenced arabic spoken in egypt. thats why the arabic from morocco and egypt and syria is so different. ;) we think coptic and amazigh and syriac is dead but a little bit lives on in the spoken arabic dialect and the dna of the people is same
So beautiful!
Beautiful.
Syria will return, let the haters seethe.

At 1:21 they are chanting Luke 2, 14 "Theshbuhtho L-Aloho bamrawme" which is the praise chanted by the angels at the birth of Christ. They repeat that 3 times. At 2:20 they are chanting Psalm 4 in Syriac. You can listen to that with lyrics at ruclips.net/video/tUKB3IKPAAM/видео.html .

@@MalankaraSyriacOrthodox thank youu
My brain keeps trying to decipher the speech thinking it's Syria Arabic. When I concentrate I can clearly hear that it's not arabic, but as soon as I stop, my brain gets tricked again
Correct me if I'm wrong but it's Aramaic right?
Dimes On His Eyes Yes it is.
I dont think it's Aramaic either. It's Syriac.
It's Syriac/aramic , Syria in its foundation is not Arabic
Apep Khoury Isn't Syriac and Aramaic different languages?
عنجاد نحناء السوريين ماعاد نعارف من وين زاء سريانين لا نرجع ندرس اللغة السرياني بس مشان نعرف نحناء السورريين ضعناء
