the

Howling the loathsomeness of wretched men

And the world's woes. And then the yawning earth

And the world's woes. And then the yawning earth

Shall come unto the judgement seat of God.

The Wood among believers, and the horn

The Wood among believers, and the horn

Fondly desired, the life of pious men,

But it shall be stumbling block of the world,

Giving illumination to the elect

Thus written openly, the Saviour is,

That the people might know him to be elect

The rod of David and the very stone

The rod of David and the very stone

Hope to the pitiable; and he will give

To the man who was fashioned from the first

To the man who was fashioned from the first

By the holy hands of God, and whom by guile

The serpent led astray unto the fate

The serpent led astray unto the fate

He serves the ways of mortals. For at first

From the beginning the Almighty said:

From the beginning the Almighty said:

Stamping them with the impress of our image;

I now by my hands, and thou by the Word

To the creation, to a holy virgin

Bringing the likeness antitypical,

Baptizing with water by the elders' hands,

And by the Word accomplishing all things,

Shall calm the raging sea, walking thereon

And a fish of the sea live thousand men

Shall he fill in the desert, and then taking

All the remaining fragments for the hope

All the remaining fragments for the hope

And the souls of the blessed he shall call,

And the souls of the blessed he shall call,

And love the pitiable, who, being mocked,

Shall search the heart and bare it to conviction;

For of all things is he himself the ear

Into the hands of lawless men, at last,

His holy back; [for he unto the world

Or whence he came, that he may talk to the dead.

For of thorns is the crown an ornament

Were nourished inclinations of the soul,

Shall be accomplished, of the which I spoke,

Which from the first by the decrees of men

Which from the first by the decrees of men

He'll spread his hands and measure all the world.

They'll show him. But the curtain of the temple

They'll show him. But the curtain of the temple

How to serve secret temple and the law,

Which had been covered with the world's displays,

When the Eternal came himself on earth.

Hope unto all the saints, the end of ages

Hope unto all the saints, the end of ages

And the last day, and having fallen asleep

The third day he shall end the lot of death;

The third day he shall end the lot of death;

Then from the dead departing he shall come

To light, the first to show forth to the elect

To light, the first to show forth to the elect

To the unlawful customs of the world.

To the unlawful customs of the world.

For of the world so many royal powers

The deed so lawless and condemnable.

The holy hymn of understanding mouths

Behold the Father. . . .

And then shall all the elements of the world

And then shall all the elements of the world

For from heaven shall the stars of light all fall.

And there shall fly no longer in the air

The well-winged birds, nor stepping be on earth;

The world shall hear no serviceable sound,

Of threatening shall the deep sea sound aloud,

And swimming trembling creatures of the sea

Shall all die; and no longer on the waves

Shall sail the freighted ship. And earth shall groan

Blood-stained by wars; and all the souls of men

Shall gnash with their teeth, [of the lawless souls

By the hands of a virgin undefiled.

Will he accomplish; and I know the number

Of the sands and the measures of the sea,

Of the sands and the measures of the sea,

Of the sands and the measures of the sea,

I know the inmost places of the earth

I know the inmost places of the earth

And gloomy Tartarus, I know the numbers

Of the stars, and the trees, and all the tribes

Of the stars, and the trees, and all the tribes

Of the stars, and the trees, and all the tribes

Of quadrupeds, and of the swimming things

And of those yet to be, and of the dead;

For I myself the forms and mind of men

I understand the dumb man and I hear

Him that speaks not, and how great the whole height

From earth to heaven is, and the beginning

And end I know, who made the heaven and earth.

From the beginning to the end he knows.]

From the beginning to the end he knows.]

Forsaking the Creator they were slaves

All useful, with the smell of sacrifice
