Coptic Festival UK 2025 ANTHEM - Stay Firm in what you have learned 

Our faith from the beginning Founded by our God’s mighty hand

Preached by the Apostles Preserved by our fathers across the land

A strong tree of faith With roots from the ages

Watered by the pure Gospel In holy rites and liturgical pages

Steadfast in my faith and belief This is my Church
