BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF SAINT MACARIUS THE GREAT:
St. Macarius was born in Upper Egypt. A late tradition places his birthplace in the village of Shabsheer (Shanshour), in Egypt around 300 A.D.
At a young age, Macarius was forced to get married against his will. Thus, he pretended to be sick and ask for his parents' permission to go to the wilderness to relax. At his return, he found that his wife had died, and shortly after, his parents departed as well. Macarius subsequently distributed all his money among the poor and needy. Seeing his virtues, the people of his village brought him to the bishop of Ashmoun who ordained him priest.
While at the desert, he visited Anthony the Great and learned from him the laws and rules of monasticism. When he returned to the Scetic Desert at the age of forty, he presided over its monastic community for the rest of his life. Ten years after going into the desert, he became a priest.
For a brief period of time, Macarius was banished to an island in the Nile by the Emperor Valens, along with Saint Macarius of Alexandria, during a dispute over the doctrine of the Nicene Creed. At their return on 13 Paremhat, they were met by a multitude of monks of the Nitrian Desert, numbered fifty thousand, among whom were Saint Pishoy and Saint John the Dwarf.
Saint Macarius of Egypt founded a monastery that bears his name, the Monastery of Saint Macarius the Great, which has been continuously inhabited by monks since its foundation in the fourth century. Today it belongs to the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Chant´s lyrics in Greek:
Διψά η ψυχή μου τον Κύριον
Και μετά δακρύων ζητώ Αυτόν
Πως να μη Σε ζητώ, Συ πρώτος με εζήτησες
Και έδωκας εις εμέ να γευτώ της γλυκύτητος του Πνεύματος Του Αγίου
Και η ψυχή μου Σε ηγάπησεν έως τέλους
Τον πρώτον χρόνον της ζωής μου εις το μοναστήριον
Η ψυχή μου εγνώρισε Τον Κύριον
Και τούτο έμαθον από το Άγιον Πνεύμα
Ότι πολύ αγαπά ημάς ο Κύριος
Τώρα εγήρασα και ετοιμάζομαι δια τον θάνατον
Και χάρην του λαού γράφω την αλήθειαν
Ωω..., αδελφοί μου
Πίπτω εις τα γόνατα και παρακαλώ υμάς
Πιστεύετε εις Τον Θεόν
Πιστεύετε ότι υπάρχει Το Άγιον Πνεύμα
Αυτό μαρτυρεί περί Του Θεού
Εις όλας τας εκκλησίας ημών
Και εις την ψυχήν μου
Είμαι μεγάλος αμαρτωλός
Και όμως είδα την άμετρον αγάπη και το έλεος του Κυρίου επ' εμέ
Το ιλαρόν και πράον βλέμμα του Κυρίου
έθελξε την ψυχήν μου
Ωω..., η αγάπη Του Κυρίου
Δεν έχω δυνάμεις να περιγράψω αυτήν
Διότι είναι απείρως μεγάλη και θαυμαστή
Δεν δύναμαι να Σε λησμονήσω
Σε νοσταλγεί η ψυχή μου Κύριε
Και με δάκρυα Σε ζητώ
Δίψα Θεού - Αγίου Σιλουανού

Concluding Absolution of the Fathers is by Fr. Matta El Meskine (Matthew the Poor).
The psalmody is a deep spiritual monument based in the order of the Holy Liturgy. It was placed through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is clear from the words of the psalmody, which are taken from the Holy Bible, the Book of Psalms, and from the accurate and deep theological understandings. These understandings can be found in its tunes which move the emotions and stays in the sky of the spirit. Thus bringing a person closer and closer to God and helping him easily towards the life of meditation in His characteristics and works.
