The Lantern

Translation-Charlesworth23

CCEL

Raging rivers are the power of the Lord; they send headlong those who despise Him.

And entangle their paths, and destroy their crossings.

And snatch their bodies, and corrupt their natures.

For they are more swift than lightnings, even more rapid.

But those who cross them in faith shall not be disturbed.

And those who walk on them faultlessly shall not be shaken.

Because the sign on them is the Lord, and the sign is the Way for those who cross in the name of the Lord.

Therefore, put on the name of the Most High and know Him, and you shall cross without danger; because rivers shall be obedient to you.

The Lord has bridged them by His Word, and He walked and crossed them on foot.

And His footsteps stand firm upon the waters, and were not destroyed; but they are like a beam of wood that is constructed on truth.

On this side and on that the waves were lifted up, but the footsteps of our Lord Messiah stand firm.

And they are neither blotted out, nor destroyed.

And the Way has been appointed for those who cross over after Him, and for those who adhere to the path of His faith; and who adore His name.

Hallelujah.

Ode 40

As honey drips from the honeycomb of bees, and milk flows from the woman who loves her children, so also is my hope upon You, O my God.

As a fountain gushes forth its water, so my heart gushes forth the praise of the Lord, and my lips bring forth praise to Him.

And my tongue becomes sweet by His anthems, and my members are anointed by His odes.

My face rejoices in His exultation, and my spirit exults in His love, and my nature shines in Him.

And he who is afraid shall trust in Him, and redemption shall be assured in Him.

And His possessions are immortal life, and those who receive it are incorruptible.

Hallelujah.

Ode 41

Let all the Lord's babes praise Him, and let us receive the truth of His faith.

And His children shall be acknowledged by Him, therefore let us sing by His love.
