Platt, Jr., [1926]\nA song that Marcus Aurelius might have known when he said \"Be like the promontory against which the waves continually break.\"\n1 The abysses were dissolved before the Lord: and darkness was destroyed by His appearance:\n 2 Error went astray and perished at His hand: and folly found no path to walk in, and was submerged by the truth of the Lord.\n 3 He opened His mouth and spake grace and joy: and He spake a new song of praise to His name:\n 4 And He lifted up His voice to the Most High, and offered to Him the sons that were with Him.\n 5 And His face was justified, for thus His holy Father had given to Him.\n 6 Come forth, ye that have been afflicted and receive joy, and possess your souls by His grace; and take to you immortal life.\n 7 And they made me a debtor when I rose up, me who had been a debtor: and they divided my spoil, though nothing was due to them.\n 8 But I endured and held my peace and was silent, as if not, moved by them.\n 9 But I stood unshaken like a firm rock which is beaten by the waves and endures.\n 10 And I bore their bitterness for humility's sake:\n 11 In order, that I might redeem my people, and inherit it and that I might not make void my promises to the fathers, to whom I promised the salvation of their seed. Hallelujah.","title":"The Forgotten Books of Eden: The Odes of Solomon: Ode 31","type":"page"}
