Saint Charbel's Family  "They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer"  Acts 2-42

You son of people

You son of people strong and free,

Eternal like God’s cedar tree,

You son of cloistered monks who

Grace their holy faith in life and death.

To God most saintly Charbel pray

To send His Spirit that we stay

His chosen ones of holy birth

Called to sanctify the earthy.

Let all creation ring with praise

To the father all our days,

With beating heart then to the Son

To fan the fire of love begun,

And the Spirit’s burning flame,

To cleanse our souls on earth which came;

So let our chant on all sides be heard

To thank the Trinity.

From the Maronite Liturgy
