Syriac Maronite Hymn: ܕܶܐܟܠܶܬ ܦܰܓܪܳܟ ܩܰܕܺܝܫܳܐ

Syriac Melody: ܩܳܠܳܐ ܦܫܺܝܛܳܐ
Glory be to the Lord! Since I have eaten Your holy body, fire shall not consume me, and since I have pressed it [sc. Your holy body] to my eyes, they see Your mercy, Lord. I have not been a stranger here; may I not be an outsider there. Do not place me on the side of the goats, [but] make me worthy to praise You with the lambs standing at Your right [see Mt 25:33].ܬܶܫܒܘܽܚܬܳܐ ܠܡܳܪܝܳܐ ܆ ܕܶܐܟܠܶܬ ܦܰܓܪܳܟ ܩܰܕܺܝܫܳܐ ܢܘܽܪܳܐ ܠܳܐ ܬܶܐܟܠܰܢܝ ܆ ܘܰܕܛܰܦܺܝܬܶܗ ܥܰܠ ܥܰܝ̈ܢܰܝ ܚܢܳܢܳܟ ܡܳܪܝ ܢܶܚ̈ܙܝܳܢ ܆ ܠܳܐ ܗܘܺܝܬ ܠܳܟ ܡܳܪܝ ܗܳܪܟܳܐ ܢܘܽܟܪܳܝܳܐ ܆ ܠܳܐ ܐܶܗܘܶܐ ܠܺܝ ܬܰܡܳܢ ܒܰܪܳܝܳܐ ܆ ܘܠܳܐ ܬܩܺܝܡܰܢܝ ܡܶܢ ܗܰܘ ܓܰܒܳܐ ܕܰܓ̈ܕܰܝܳܐ ܩܳܝܡܺܝܢ ܆ ܥܰܡ ܐܶܡܪ̈ܶܐ ܒ̈ܢܰܝ ܝܰܡܺܝܢܳܐ ܐܰܫܘܳܢܝ ܕܶܐܫܰܒܚܳܟ ܀
Glory be to the Lord! I took You, Son of God, provision for a journey. Whenever I hunger, I eat from You, Savior of the world. The fire shall stand in awe of my members when the smell of Your body and blood fight it away from me. May Your baptism be for me an unsinkable ship, and may I travel by it [through] the place of fear to the place full of life.

ܬܶܫܒܘܽܚܬܳܐ ܠܡܳܪܝܳܐ ܆ ܙܘ̈ܳܕܶܐ ܠܐܘܽܪܚܳܐ ܫܩܰܠܬܳܟ ܠܺܝ ܒܰܪ ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ ܆ ܘܡܳܐ ܕܟܶܦܢܶܬ ܐܶܟܠܶܬ ܡܶܢܳܟ ܦܳܪܘܽܩܶܗ ܕܥܳܠܡܳܐ ܆ ܬܶܒܗܰܬ ܢܘܽܪܳܐ ܡܶܢ ܨܶܝܕ ܗܰܕܳܡ̈ܰܝ ܡܳܐ ܕܰܡܚܳܗ̇ ܡܶܢܝ ܪܺܝܚ ܦܰܓܪܳܟ ܘܰܕܡܳܟ ܆ ܡܰܥܡܘܽܕܺܝܬܳܟ ܬܶܗܘܶܐ ܠܺܝ ܐܶܠܦܳܐ ܕܠܳܐ ܛܳܒܥܳܐ ܆ ܘܶܐܥܒܰܪ ܒܳܗ̇ ܐܰܬܪܳܐ ܕܩܶܢܛܳܐ ܠܰܐܬܪܳܐ ܕܚܰܝ̈ܶܐ ܡܠܶܐ ܀

Communion of the People (Maronite Divine Liturgy)

“I am the Bread of Life,” said our Lord, “whoever eats me in faith shall inherit life [see Jn 6:51].”ܐܶܢܳܐ ܐܶܢܳܐ ܠܰܚܡܳܐ ܕܚܰܝ̈ܶܐ ܐܶܡܰܪ ܡܳܪܰܢ ܆ ܟܽܠ ܕܳܐܟܶܠ ܠܺܝ ܒܗܰܝܡܳܢܘܽܬܳܐ ܢܺܐܪܰܬ ܚܰܝ̈ܶܐ ܀
This is the cup which our Lord mixed on top of the wood [sc. the cross] [see Jn 19:34]: Come, mortals, and drink from it for the forgiveness of sins.ܗܳܢܰܘ ܟܳܣܳܐ ܕܡܰܙܓܶܗ ܡܳܪܰܢ ܥܰܠ ܪܺܝܫ ܩܰܝܣܳܐ ܆ ܩܪܘܽܒ ܡܳܝ̈ܘܽܬܶܐ ܘܶܐܫܬܰܘ ܡܶܢܶܗ ܠܚܘܽܣܳܝ ܚܰܘ̈ܒܶܐ ܀
“Sisters and brothers, receive the body of the Son,” cries out the Church, “drink his blood in faith, and sing praise [to Him][see Ps 104:33].”ܐܰܚ̈ܰܝ ܩܰܒܶܠܘ ܦܰܓܪܶܗ ܕܰܒܪܳܐ ܩܳܥܝܳܐ ܥܺܕܬܳܐ ܆ ܘܶܐܫܬܰܘ ܠܰܕܡܶܗ ܒܗܰܝܡܳܢܘܽܬܳܐ ܘܰܙܡܰܪܘ ܫܘܽܒܚܳܐ ܀
  
“Lord, you are Holy, Holy, Holy [see Is 6:3],” cries out the Church, “blessed is the One who offered me His body and blood that I may be forgiven by them.”ܩܰܕܺܝܫ ܩܰܕܺܝܫ ܩܰܕܝܫܰܬ ܡܳܪܝ ܩܳܥܝܳܐ ܥܺܕܬܳܐ ܆ ܒܪܺܝܟ ܗ̱ܘܽ ܕܝܰܗ̱ܒܠܺܝ ܦܰܓܪܶܗ ܘܰܕܡܶܗ ܕܶܐܬܚܰܣܶܐ ܒܶܗ ܀
Halleluja! Hallelujah! Glory be to the One who offered us His body and living blood that we may be forgiven by them.ܗܰܠܶܠܘܽܝܰܐ ܘܗܰܠܶܠܘܽܝܰܐ ܠܶܗ ܬܶܫܒܘܽܚܬܳܐ ܆ ܕܝܰܗ̱ܒ ܠܰܢ ܦܰܓܪܶܗ ܘܰܕܡܶܗ ܚܰܝܳܐ ܕܢܶܬܚܰܣܶܐ ܒܶܗ ܀
May Your holy Oblation be the intercessor on our behalf on judgment [day] before that bema full of dread and vehemence.ܩܘܽܕܫܳܟ ܢܶܗܘܶܐ ܠܡܶܬܟܰܫܦܳܢܳܐ ܒܕܺܝܢܳܐ ܚܠܳܦܰܝܢ ܆ ܩܕܳܡ ܗܳܝ ܒܺܐܡܰܐ ܕܡܰܠܝܳܐ ܕܶܚܠܳܐ ܘܥܰܙܺܝܙܘܽܬܳܐ ܀
Halleluja! Hallelujah! Glory be to the One from whom the Church and her children drink and [to whom] sing praise [see Ps 104:33].ܗܰܠܶܠܘܽܝܰܐ ܘܗܰܠܶܠܘܽܝܰܐ ܠܶܗ ܬܶܫܒܘܽܚܬܳܐ ܆ ܕܫܳܬܝܳܐ ܡܶܢܶܗ ܥܺܕܬܳܐ ܘܝܰܠ̈ܕܶܝܗ̇ ܘܙܳܡܪܺܝܢ ܫܘܽܒܚܳܐ ܀
