Ode 20

1.     I am a priest of the Lord, and Him I serve as a priest;

2.     And to Him I offer the offering of His thought.

3.     For His thought is not like the world, nor like the flesh, nor like them who worship according to the flesh.

4.     The offering of the Lord is righteousness, and purity of heart and lips.

5.     Offer your inward being faultlessly; and let not your compassion oppress compassion; and let not yourself oppress a self.

6.     You should not purchase a stranger because he is like yourself, nor seek to deceive your neighbor, nor deprive him of the covering for his nakedness.

7.     But put on the grace of the Lord generously, and come to His Paradise, and make for yourself a garland from His tree.

8.     Then put it on your head and be joyful, and recline upon His rest.

9.     For His glory will go before you; and you shall receive of His kindness and of His grace; and you shall be anointed in truth with the praise of His holiness.

10. Praise and honor to His name.
Hallelujah.
