Blood Waters the Cedars of Lebanon 歌词

You Muslims push to exterminate us Christians who toil in your fields We live and die in the same sands, to be judged by the works of our hands For every green olive you press for oil, and for every gold kernel of wheat Have touched the hands of a Christian; remember this fact when you eat Out of Antioch had come, St. Maron who would give birth to a people By the banks of the Orontes River, he would lead a quiet ascetic life After his death his followers, would flee their fellow Christians' swords To the walls of the Valley of Kadisha and where the mighty Mount Lebanon soars Our Blood Waters the Cedars of Lebanon Our Tears are the headwaters of the Jordan Our Sweat nourishes the fields of Al Husun Our Hearts are the seeds of the Pines of Edessa In Syria the Cross came to Damascus by the preaching of the disciple St. Peter And on that same road, Saul became Paul, when he heard the call from the Lord The Melkites flourished and still lived in peace, even after the Muslim invasions Through the Crusades until modern day, where they face death from the radical's sword Our Blood Waters the Cedars of Lebanon Our Tears are the headwaters of the Jordan Our Sweat nourishes the fields of Al Husun Our Hearts are the seeds of the Pines of Edessa At Bethany Beyond the Jordan, Bethabara where John the Baptist preached Where our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, received the baptism we now beseech Medaba, the City of Mosaics had preserved an ancient Jerusalem map The Arab Christians of Jordan, still live in Amman, Al Husan and Fuheis Our Blood Waters the Cedars of Lebanon Our Tears are the headwaters of the Jordan Our Sweat nourishes the fields of Al Husun Our Hearts are the seeds of the Pines of Edessa King Abgar the IX of Edessa, had embraced the new Christian faith Converted by a missionary named Addai, through Mesopotamia he came The Peshitta and the Diatessaron in the century to follow were made The Christians survived a terrible flood, to become martyrs when the Romans had reigned Our Blood Waters the Cedars of Lebanon Our Tears are the headwaters of the Jordan Our Sweat nourishes the fields of Al Husun Our Hearts are the seeds of the Pines of Edessa Our Blood Waters the Cedars of Lebanon Our Tears are the headwaters of the Jordan Our Sweat nourishes the fields of Al Husun Our Hearts are the seeds of the Pines of Edessa
