Platt, Jr., [1926]\nA man who had a spiritual experience brings a message.\n1 My heart was lifted up in the love of the Most High and was enlarged: that I might praise Him for His name's sake.\n 2 My members were strengthened that they might not fall from His strength.\n 3 Sicknesses removed from my body, and it stood to the Lord by His will. For His kingdom is true.\n 4 O Lord, for the sake of them that are deficient do not remove thy word from me!\n 5 Neither for the sake of their works do thou restrain from me thy perfection!\n 6 Let not the luminary be conquered by the darkness; nor let truth flee away from falsehood.\n 7 Thou wilt appoint me to victory; our Salvation is thy right hand. And thou wilt receive men from all quarters.\n 8 And thou wilt preserve whosoever is held in evils:\n 9 Thou art my God. Falsehood and death are not in thy mouth:\n 10 For thy will is perfection; and vanity thou knowest not,\n 11 Nor does it know thee.\n 12 And error thou knowest not,\n 13 Neither does it know thee.\n 14 And ignorance appeared like a blind man; and like the foam of the sea,\n 15 And they supposed of that vain thing that it was something great;\n 16 And they too came in likeness of it and became vain; and those have understood who have known and meditated;\n 17 And they have not been corrupt in their imagination; for such were in the mind of the Lord;\n 18 And they mocked at them that were walking in error;\n 19 And they spake truth from the inspiration which the Most High breathed into them; Praise and great comeliness to His name Hallelujah.","title":"The Forgotten Books of Eden: The Odes of Solomon: Ode 18","type":"page"}
