1
Open ye, open ye your hearts to the exultation of the Lord:
|
|
|
|
|
8.
2
And let your love be multiplied from the heart and even to the lips,
|
|
|
|
|
8.
3
To bring forth fruit to the Lord [fruit], holy [fruit], and to talk with watchfulness in His light.
|
|
|
|
|
8.
4
Rise up, and stand erect, ye who sometime were brought low:
|
|
|
|
|
8.
5
Tell forth ye who were in silence, that your mouth hath been opened.
|
|
|
|
|
8.
6
Ye, therefore, that were despised, be henceforth lifted up, because your righteousness hath been exalted.
|
|
|
|
|
8.
7
For the right hand of the Lord is with you: and He is your helper:
|
|
|
|
|
8.
8
And peace was prepared for you, before ever your war was.
|
|
|
|
|
8.
9
Hear the word of truth, and receive the knowledge of the Most High.
|
|
|
|
|
8.
10
Your flesh has not known what I am saying to you neither have your hearts known what I am showing to you.
|
|
|
|
|
8.
11
Keep my secret, ye who are kept by it:
|
|
|
|
|
8.
12
Keep my faith, ye who are kept by it.
|
|
|
|
|
8.
13
And understand my knowledge, ye who know me in truth.
|
|
|
|
|
8.
14
Love me with affection, ye who love:
|
|
|
|
|
8.
15
For I do not turn away my face from them that are mine;
|
|
|
|
|
8.
16
For I know them, and before they came into being I took knowledge of them, and on their faces I set my seal:
|
|
|
|
|
8.
17
I fashioned their members: my own breasts I prepared for them, that they might drink my holy milk and live thereby.
|
|
|
|
|
8.
181
took pleasure in them and am not ashamed of them:
|
|
|
|
|
8.
19
For my workmanship are they and the strength of my thoughts:
|
|
|
|
|
8.
20
Who then shall rise up against my handiwork, or who is there that is not subject to them?
|
|
|
|
|
8.
21
I willed and fashioned mind and heart: and they are mine, and by my own right hand I set my elect ones:
|
|
|
|
|
8.
22
And my righteousness goeth before them and they shall not be deprived of my name, for it is with them.
|
|
|
|
|
8.
23
Ask, and abound and abide in the love of the Lord,
|
|
|
|
|
8.
24
And yet beloved ones in the Beloved: those who are kept, in Him that liveth:
|
|
|
|
|
8.
25
And they that are saved in Him that was saved;
|
|
|
|
|
8.
26
And ye shall be found incorrupt in all ages to the name of your Father. Hallelujah.
