Coptic Hymns in English

About this app

Coptic Hymns In English has been completely redesigned and rebuilt.

A new, faster, and more beautiful app for praying and worshiping in English, bringing the hymns of the Coptic Orthodox Church together with the Agpeya, the Psalms, and a library of prayers, all in one place.

Hymns for every season
Browse the full hymn catalog by album or by the Coptic liturgical year. A redesigned Home screen greets you with today's Coptic date, the current season, the daily Synaxarion readings, and the prayer hour happening right now. Discover what's trending this week and see which albums are coming up before each feast and fast arrives.

Listen, read, and follow along
A gorgeous full-screen player with artwork, playback speed, skip controls, sleep timer, and a loop tool. Read along with lyrics, view the Coptic Hazzat text, or open the musical notation.

Pray the Agpeya
The complete canonical hours of prayer, beautifully laid out and easy to read. Listen to each hour with word-by-word highlighting that glides along with the audio so you never lose your place. Set personal goals, add reminders for the hours you pray, and track your day at a glance with a Home Screen widget.

The Psalter & a library of prayers
Read and listen to the Psalms as one flowing document, plus a growing collection of prayers for repentance, communion, guidance, meals, and more: each with the same follow-along audio.

More to explore
• Podcasts and spiritual songs
• Curated collections and seasonal albums
• A real liturgical calendar with labeled seasons, fasts, and feasts
• Church Mode for projecting and praying together

Yours, online or off
Build playlists, save favorites, and download anything for offline listening — your music keeps playing even with no signal. Continue right where you left off, on every screen.

Whether you're learning the hymns, praying the hours, or simply worshiping at home, this new edition is faster, richer, and easier to use than ever.

Glory to God.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely astounding! Excellent job by the developers. Very user-friendly and well layed out. It's light, yet robust. May be used from prayer to sitting in a waiting room, while passively learning and memorizing the hymns. The Lord's hands are obviously all over this project. May the Lord bless your service, and may His grace sustain the light of all the volunteers and contributors.

I love everything about this app! It's a library of the Coptic Hymns sung in English and follows the lyrics found in Coptic Reader app, which is widely used by the Coptic Church virtually worldwide. This certainly/hopefully unifies the English responses across the Church. They hymns are filed seasonally, and the app even suggests which album is relevant based on the current season. And as a perk, the entire Agpya (the Coptic Book of Hours) is recorded and available to download for offline use.

Love, love, love this app. Over the years I have downloaded many of these exact same midnight praises and played them and sung along with repeatedly because I love them. Now I can use this app which is easy to navigate. There is so much more in here. Check it out! I learned how to sing praises from CHIE and I can't stop singing! Very thankful to God and to His people whose dedication brought CHIE to fruition! May God bless all your work and grant you all the heavenly reward!
