Chaldean hymn--can we?

chaldean alphabet - Google Image Search

The Mennonite Central Committee Iraq contact has sent me two Christian songs in Chaldean. Now, to figure it out for Americans. An Iraqi family visits us here at Zion and I shall ask them to help me.

I thought--wouldn't it be great to sing a hymn that Iraqis are singing!

This sample image from Google is just an example of the Chaldean letters. What MCC sent to me was a sound mp3 file (to learn by listening) and the words transcribed into English letters and a translation, so we know what we are singing.
