Nuhra2021 Ode 21

Ode 21 A Medicine and a Helper for Me 1 My arms I lifted up on account of the compassion of the Lord, 2 because he had cast off my bonds from me. And my helper had lifted me up on account of his compassion and of his salvation. 3 And I put off darkness and clothed myself with light. 4 And my soul acquired limbs free from pain, or sickness or suffering. 5 And instead a medicine and helper for me was the thought of the Lord and his partnership of intimate union in imperishability. 6 And I was lifted up in his light and I passed before his face. 7 And I was near him, praising and thanking him. 8 My heart overflowed and was found in my mouth, and luminously dawned upon my lips. 9 And on my face increased the exultation of the Lord in praise of him. Hallelujah!
