Ode 41

¹ All the Lord’s children will praise Him, and will collect the truth of His faith.

² And His children shall be known to Him. Therefore we will sing in His love:

³ We live in the Lord by His grace: and life we receive in His Messiah:

⁴ For a great day has shined upon us: and marvellous is He who has given us of His glory.

⁵ Let us, therefore, all of us unite together in the name of the Lord, and let us honour Him in His goodness,

⁶ And let our faces shine in His light: and let our hearts meditate in His love by night and by day.

⁷ Let us exult with the joy of the Lord.

⁸ All those will be astonished that see me. For from another race am I:

⁹ For the Father of truth remembered me: He who possessed me from the beginning:

¹⁰ For His bounty begat me, and the thought of His heart:

¹¹ And His Word is with us in all our way;

¹² The Saviour who makes alive and does not reject our souls-;

¹³ The man who was humbled, and exalted by His own righteousness,

¹⁴ The Son of the Most High appeared in the perfection of His Father;

¹⁵ And light dawned from the Word that was beforetime in Him;

¹⁶ The Messiah is truly one; and He was known before the foundation of the world,

¹⁷ That He might save souls for ever by the truth of His name: a new song arises from those who love Him. Hallelujah.
