Ի՞նչ Մեծ Ես Դուն
1- Ո՜վ Տէր Աստուած, երբ դիտեմ խոր ապշանքով՝
Լի աշխարհներ ըստեղծուած Քու ձեռքով,
Դիտեմ աստղեր, լըսեմ որոտներ ահեղ,
Ոյժդ պարզըւած՝ տիեզերք ամէն տեղ.

Կրկ.
Յայնժամ կ՛երգեմ հոգեւին Տէր Փրկիչ,
Ի՜նչ մեծ ես Դուն, Ի՜նչ մեծ ես Դուն,
Յայնժամ կ՛երգեմ հոգեւին Տէր Փրկիչ,
Ի՜նչ մեծ ես Դուն, ի՜նչ մեծ ես Դուն:

2- Խորքն անտառին եւ թաւուտքին բաց լայն տեղ՝
Երբ ես շըրջիմ լըսեմ թըռչնոց գեղգեղ՝
Երբ նայիմ վար վեհապանծ բարձր լեռներէն՝
Լըսեմ առուակն, ըզգամ հողմն մեղմօրէն:

3- Երբ խորհիմ թէ Տէրն չխնայեց Իր Որդին՝
Ղրկեց մեռնիլ, դիւր չըգար իմ սըրտին,
Խաչին վրայ բեռըս կըրեց, սիրեց զիս,
Արիւն թափեց, մեռաւ վասն իմ մեղքիս:

4- Երբ Յիսուս գայ մեծ ձայնով՝ շառաչիւնով,
Զիս տուն տանի, սիրտս պիտ՝ խայտայ իր քով,
Պիտ՝ կըրկնեմ ծունր, երկըրպագեմ խոնարհած,
Հոն հըռչակեմ, ի՜նչ մեծ ես Տէր Աստուած:

Տէր Ողորմեա (Der Voghormia)



This is an ancient and very beautiful Armenian sharagan. If someone can translate the meaning, by writing in the comment, I would really appreciate it.

Meanwhile, close your eyes and go deep into the meaning of the music of our ancient fathers in faith...

Speaking in Tongues: Interview with Ms. Shake Geocherian

The gift of Speaking in Tongues, in spite of being biblical, is still considered bizarre within the Armenian community and the Armenian Churches (Apostolic, Catholic and Evangelical).

There are different kinds of groups, churches, and house churches that meet together to have their worship gathering, where sometimes the worshipers speak in tongues.

We are aware of the differences of biblical interpretations. Our intention and aim is not the casting of blame on a particular group. We have friends and relations with different groups and people whom we cherish, in spite of the differences in opinion.

*Note: The interview took place in the summer.
