Is it wrong to sing non Coptic hymns in Church?

The answer

No, but there is something we need to be able to differentiate between : are these hymns lifting you spiritually or emotionally? Emotional music speaks to and excites the body, and so therefore, we must sing hymns which uplift us spiritually.
