Hymn “Through The Cross”[1]
by  Late Metropolitan Athanasuis of Beni Suef.[2]
Through the Cross my Lord Redeemed me … Through His Resurrection, He raised me and gave me life
Through the Cross He restored to me my entity… He opened to me the door of the paradise
Come let us see visibly… Our God in the human nature
Loving, kind, maker of good… He broke from us the trap pf the Satan.
He wore the nature of the sons of Adam… and became a sacrifice for the world
He saved by his Cross all transgressions … he removed from us all verdicts
Through the Cross we reconciled with the Father … And the Son opened before us the door
After the hostility we became lovers… the reconciliation happened and the dividing wall was broken.
Through the cross He crushed Satan … And He forgave us from every sin.
And the deeds were erased and He defeated powers… And He grants us victory and freedom.
On the Cross  compassion Transfigured… And the supreme Love and the Forgiveness
Thus the Saviour opening his bosom…Wants the Salvation of every human.
