The Hymn of the Censer

Meanwhile, the congregation says

This censer of pure gold, bearing the aroma, is in the hands of Aaron the priest, offering up incense upon the altar.

Ⲧⲁⲓ ϣⲟⲩⲣⲏ ⲛ̀ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛ̀ⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲟⲥ: ⲉⲧϥⲁⲓ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲁ̀ⲣⲱⲙⲁⲧⲁ: ⲉⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛϫⲓϫ ⲛ̀Ⲁⲁ̀ⲣⲱⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲏⲃ: ⲉϥⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲟⲩⲥ̀ⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲉ̀ⲡ̀ϣⲱⲓ ⲉ̀ϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛ̀ⲉⲣϣⲱⲟⲩϣⲓ.

هذه المجمرة الذهب النقى الحاملة العنبر التى فى يدى هرون الكاهن يرفع بخوراً على المذبح.

In the event of the Feast of the Cross, and the ninth hour of the Good Friday, the congregation says

The golden censer is the Virgin. Her aroma is our Saviour. She gave birth to Him. He saved us and forgave us our sins.

Ϯϣⲟⲩⲣⲏ ⲛ̀ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲧⲉ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲑⲉⲛⲟⲥ: ⲡⲉⲥⲁ̀ⲣⲱⲙⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ: ⲁⲥⲙⲓⲥⲓ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲥⲱϯ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲛ: ⲁϥⲭⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉ̀ⲃⲟⲗ.

المجمرة الذهب هى العذراء. وعنبرها هو مخلصنا. ولدته وخلصنا وغفر لنا خطايانا.

During the great lent, the congregation says

You are the censer of pure gold, bearing the blessed ember.

Ⲛ̀ⲑⲟ ⲧⲉ ϯϣⲟⲩⲣⲏ: ⲛ̀ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛ̀ⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲟⲥ: ⲉⲧϥⲁⲓ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓϫⲉⲃⲥ: ⲛ̀ⲭ̀ⲣⲱⲙ ⲉⲧⲥ̀ⲙⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧ.

أنت هى المجمرة الذهب النقى الحاملة جمر النار المبارك.
