Here's another beautiful Syrian Orthodox hymn sung in the original Aramaic:
For an English translation:
"Come in peace Oh! true shepherd and wise guide. You are the foundation of the Church like Peter and Paul. Brother and friend of the Prophets and companion of the Apostles. (You are) a zealot like Elijah and a virgin like John. Blessed is the Church that received you.
Welcome, O Noble Father, the Chosen Shepherd. Your flock thirsts to see You and for Your blessings we await. We thank God who has chosen You as a Shepherd for us. In Your name we rejoice and find gladness. Let us all cry out with our strength, "Long live our Father" we shall say and will affirm"
