Ode 9

1.     Open your ears, and I shall speak to you.

2.     Give me yourself, so that I may also give you myself.

3.     The word of the Lord and His desires, the holy thought which He has thought concerning His Messiah.

4.     For in the will of the Lord is your life, and His purpose is eternal life, and your perfection is incorruptible.

5.     Be enriched in God the Father; and receive the purpose of the Most High. Be strong and redeemed by His grace.

6.     For I announce peace to you, His holy ones, so that none of those who hear shall fall in the war.

7.     And also that those who have known Him may not perish, and so that those who received Him may not be ashamed.

8.     An everlasting crown is Truth; blessed are they who set it on their head.

9.     It is a precious stone, for the wars were on account of the crown.

10. But Righteousness has taken it, and has given it to you.

11. Put on the crown in the true covenant of the Lord, and all those who have conquered will be inscribed in His book.

12. For their book is the reward of victory which is for you, and she sees you before her and wills that you shall be saved.
Hallelujah.
