Apocrypha · Chapter 3 of 42
Odae Solomontos
I clothed myself in the love of the Lord.
2And his members are with him, and on them I depend.
3And he loves me.
4I would not have known how to love the Lord if he had not loved me.
5Who can discern love, except one who is loved?
6I love the Beloved and my soul loves him.
7And where is his rest, there also am I.
