Apocrypha · Chapter 10 of 42
Odae Solomontos
The Lord directed my mouth by his word.
2And opened my heart by his light.
3And made his immortal life to dwell in me.
4And gave me power to speak the fruits of his peace.
5To convert the souls of those who desire to come to him.
6And to lead the captives to freedom.
