طوبى لإخوان

Representative Text

1- طوبى لإخوانٍ
بشِرْكةِ الإيمانْ
يحيَون بالحب الوفي
والبرِّ كل آنْ

2- يا ربنا يسوعْ
أدِمْ لنا الوفاقْ
وامنح لنا طول الحياةْ
عَيشاً بلا فِراقْ

3- في نُوَبِ الشقاءْ
نُشارك الخُلاّنْ
نفرح في وقت الهناءْ
دوماً مع الإخوانْ

4- إنْ يرتحلْ حبيبْ
على رجا الوعودْ
نذكرُه وعن قريب
يجمعُنا الخلودْ
