We live in the Lord by His grace, and life we receive by His Messiah.
For a great day has shined upon us, and wonderful is He who has given to us of His glory.
Let us, therefore, all of us agree in the name of the Lord, and let us honor Him in His goodness.
And let our faces shine in His light, and let our hearts meditate in His love, by night and by day.
Let us exult with the exultation of the Lord.
All those who see me will be amazed, because I am from another race.
For the Father of Truth remembered me; he who possessed me from the beginning.
For His riches begat me, and the thought of His heart.
And His Word is with us in all our way, the Savior who gives life and does not reject ourselves.
The Man who humbled Himself, but was exalted because of His own righteousness.
The Son of the Most High appeared in the perfection of His Father.
And light dawned from the Word that was before time in Him.
The Messiah in truth is one. And He was known before the foundations of the world, that He might give life to persons for ever by the truth of His name.
A new chant is for the Lord from them that love Him.
Hallelujah.
Ode 42
I extended my hands and approached my Lord, for the expansion of my hands is His sign.
And my extension is the upright cross, that was lifted up on the way of the Righteous One.
And I became useless to those who knew me not, because I shall hide myself from those who possessed me not.
And I will be with those who love me.
All my persecutors have died, and they sought me, they who declared against me, because I am living.
Then I arose and am with them, and will speak by their mouths.
For they have rejected those who persecute them; and I threw over them the yoke of my love.
Like the arm of the bridegroom over the bride, so is my yoke over those who know me.
And as the bridal chamber is spread out by the bridal pair's home, so is my love by those who believe in me.
