Bishop responses Let them exalt Him in the church of His people, and praise ​ ​ Him in the seat of the elders, for He has made His families ​ ​ like a flock of sheep, that the upright may see and rejoice. ​ ​ The Lord has sworn and will have no regret, "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek." The Lord is ​ ​ at your right hand, our saintly father, the patriarch, Pope Abba Tawadros. And our father the bishop, Abba Karas. ​ ​ ​ ​ May the Lord keep your lives. Alleluia Alleluia ​ You have received the grace of Moses, the priesthood of Melchizedek, the old age of Jacob, the long life of ​ ​ Methuselah, the excellent understanding of David, the ​ ​ wisdom of Solomon, and the Spirit, the Paraclete who ​ ​ came upon the Apostles. ​ ​ May the Lord preserve the life and rising of our honored father, the archpriest, Pope Abba Tawadros, and our ​ ​ father the bishop Abba Karas. ​ May the God of heaven confirm them on their thrones for many years and peaceful times.
