Joy is of the saints! And who shall put it on but they alone?
2Grace is of the elect! And who shall receive it but they who trust in it from the beginning?
3Love is of the elect! And who shall put it on, but those who have possessed it from the beginning?
4Walk ye in the knowledge of the Most High; And ye shall know the grace of the Lord without grudging; To His exultation and to the perfection of His knowledge.
5And His thought was like a letter, And His will descended from on high;
6And it was sent like an arrow Which is violently shot from the bow;
7And many hands rushed to the letter, To seize it and to take it and to read it.
8And it escaped from their fingers, And they were affrighted at it and at the seal that was on it.
9For it was not permitted to them to loose the seal; For the power that was over the seal was greater than they.
10But those who saw it went after the letter, That they might know where it would alight, And who should read it, And who should hear it.
11But a wheel received it, And (the letter) came over it;
12And there was with it a sign Of the kingdom and of the government.
13And everything which was moving the wheel It mowed and cut down;
14And it destroyed many things that were adverse; And it spanned the rivers:
15And crossed over and rooted up many forests, And made a broad path.
16The head went down to the feet; For down to the feet ran the wheel; And that which had come upon it.
17The letter was one of recommendation; For there were included in it all districts:
18And there was seen at its head, a head which was revealed Even the Son of Truth from the Most High Father;
19And he inherited and took possession of everything; And the thought of the many was brought to naught, And all the apostates became bold and fled away, And the persecutors became extinct and were blotted out.
20And the letter became a great tablet, Which was wholly written by the finger of God;
21And the name of the Father was upon it; And of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, To rule for ever and ever. Hallelujah.
