Song 15
“As the sun is joy to those who seek daybreak, my joy is the Lord. He is my sun, and his rays have lifted me up and chased all darkness from my face.
I have acquired eyes and heard his truth. I have acquired knowledge, and he has made me happy.
I left the way of error, went to him, and he saved me. According to his bounty, he gave me; according to his beauty, he made me.
I found purity through his name. I shed corruption through his grace. Death has died before my countenance.
Hell is abolished by my word.
A deathless life appears in the land of the Lord, known to those with belief, and lasts unceasingly.”
Odes of Solomon
