Yours is the Power
‘Yours is the power, the glory, the blessing, and the majesty forever, Amen. O Immanuel our God and King’ is the hymn of the Holy Pascha that is sung continuously during Holy Week in the Coptic Church in the stead of all the Canonical prayers. In this booklet, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III (1923 – 2012), the 117th Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of Saint Mark, takes you on a contemplative journey of each part of this hymn, shedding light in turn on the power, the glory, the blessing and the majesty of our Lord Jesus Christ throughout His life and in the depths of His sufferings, and revealing His most powerful moment as the moment of His death.
