1 Again Grace ran and forsook corruption, and came down in Him to bring it to nought; (ODE) 2 And He destroyed perdition from before Him, and devastated all its order; (ODE) 3 And He stood on a lofty summit and uttered His voice from one end of the earth to the other: (ODE) 4 And drew to Him all those who obeyed Him; and there did not appear as it were an evil person. (ODE) 5 But there stood a perfect virgin who was proclaiming and calling and saying, (ODE) 6 O ye sons of men, return ye, and ye daughters of men, come ye: (ODE) 7 And forsake the ways of that corruption and draw near unto me, and I will enter into you, and will bring you forth from perdition, (ODE) 8 And make you wise in the ways of truth: that you be not destroyed nor perish: (ODE) 9 Hear ye me and be redeemed. For the grace of God I am telling among you: and by my means you shall be redeemed and become blessed. (ODE) 10 I am your judge; and they who have put me on shall not be injured: but they shall possess the new world that is incorrupt: (ODE) 11 My chosen ones walk in me, and my ways I will make known to them that seek me, and I will make them trust in my name. Hallelujah. (ODE)
