"The Order of the Church" or "Tarteeb Al-Bey'a" is a very valuable book that was published by the Late Bishop Samuel of Shebin El Quanater. He used many manuscripts entitled "Tarteeb Al-Bey'a ترتيب البيعة" that were specific to illustrate in detail (compared to other rites manuscripts) the rite of each day of the Coptic year and its Sundays. The following hymns may be found for specific days of the year:
- Doxologies (Adam and Watos)
- Gospel Responses for Vespers, Matins and Liturgy
- Concluding Canons (instead of "Amen Alleluia")
- Praxis Responses
- Psalm Trailers (Tawaf)
- Mohayyar Hymns
- Aspasmoses

His Grace used the following MSs in compiling the current 3-volume book, while also translating some of the Coptic into Arabic:
