Odes of Solomon 3

1. . . I put on:

2And his members are with him. And on them do I stand, and He loves me:

3For I should not have known how to love the Lord, if He had not loved me.

4For who is able to distinguish love, except the one that is loved?

5I love the Beloved, and my soul loves Him:

6And where His rest is, there also am I;

7And I shall be no stranger, for with the Lord Most High and Merciful there is no grudging.

8I have been united to I-run, for the Lover has found the Beloved,

9And because I shall love Him that, is the Son, I shall become a son;

10For he that is joined to Him that is immortal, will also himself become immortal;

11And he who has pleasure in the Living One, will become living.

12This is the Spirit of the Lord, which doth not lie, which teacheth the sons of men to know His ways.

13Be wise and understanding and vigilant. Hallelujah.
