I recently discovered something called \u201cThe Hymn of Jesus,\u201d words of Jesus just prior to His crucifixion from a disciple\u2019s view.\u00a0 G. R. S. Mead translated the short writing from the\u00a0Leucian\u00a0Acts of John.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

I thought of this scripture in Matthew and Mark:<\/p>\n

And when they had sung an\u00a0hymn<\/a>, they went out into the mount of Olives<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The tone and verbiage are so reminiscent of things sacred to me and caused me to really consider the Gospel authors\u2019 brief, understated verse.<\/p>\n

\"Duccio
Duccio di Buoninsegna, \u201cChrist Taking Leave of the Apostles\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Hymn of Jesus<\/h3>\n

Now before He was taken by the lawless Jews\u2013by them who are under the law of the lawless Serpent\u2013He gathered us together and said:<\/p>\n

\u2018Before I am delivered over unto them we will hymn the Father, and so go forth to what lieth before [us].\u2019<\/p>\n

Then bidding us make as it were a ring, by holding each others\u2019 hands, with Him in the midst, He said:<\/p>\n

\u2018Answer \u201cAmen\u201d to Me.\u2019<\/p>\n

Then He began to hymn a hymn and say:<\/p>\n

THE HYMN.<\/h3>\n

Glory to Thee, Father!<\/p>\n

(And we going round in a ring answered to Him:)<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

Glory to Thee, Word (Logos<\/i>)!<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

Glory to Thee, Grace (Charis<\/i>)!<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

Glory to Thee, Spirit!
\nGlory to Thee, Holy One!
\nGlory to Thy Glory!<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

We praise Thee, O Father;
\nWe give Thanks to Thee, O light;
\nIn Whom Darkness dwells not!<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

(For what we give thanks to the Logos). [Or, if we adopt the \u201cemended\u201d text: For what we give thanks, I say:]\n<\/p>

I would be saved; and I would save.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I would be loosed; and I would loose.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I would be wounded; and I would wound.<\/a><\/p>\n[Or, I would be pierced; and I would pierce. Another reading has: I would be dissolved (or consumed for love); and I would dissolve.]\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I would be begotten; and I would beget.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I would eat; and I would be eaten.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I would hear; and I would be heard.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I would be washed; and I would wash.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

(Grace leadeth the dance.)<\/a><\/p>\n

I would pipe; dance ye all.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I would play a dirge; lament ye all.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

The one Eight (Ogdoad) sounds (or plays) with us.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

The Twelfth number above leadeth the dance.<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

All whose nature is to dance [doth dance].<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

Who danceth not, knows not what is being done.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I would flee; and I would stay.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I would be adorned; and I would adorn.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I would be at-oned; and I would at-one.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I have no dwelling; and I have dwellings.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I have no place; and I have places.<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I have no temple; and I have temples.<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I am a lamp to thee who seest Me.<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I am a mirror to thee who understandest Me.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I am a door to thee who knockest at Me.<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

I am a way to thee a wayfarer.<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

Now answer to My dancing!<\/a><\/p>\n

See thyself in Me who speak;
\nAnd seeing what I do,
\nKeep silence on My Mysteries.<\/p>\n

Understand by dancing, what I do;
\nFor thine is the Passion of Man
\nThat I am to suffer.<\/p>\n

Thou couldst not at all be conscious
\nOf what thou dost suffer,
\nWere I not sent as thy Word by the Father [or I am thy Word; I was sent by the Father.]\n<\/p>

Seeing what I suffer,<\/p>\n

Thou sawest Me as suffering;
\nAnd seeing, thou didst not stand,
\nBut wast moved wholly,
\nMoved to be wise.<\/p>\n

Thou hast Me for a couch; rest thou upon Me.<\/a><\/p>\n

Who I am thou shalt know when I depart.<\/a>
\nWhat now I am seen to be, that I am not.
\n[But what I am] thou shalt see when thou comest.<\/p>\n

If thou hadst known how to suffer,<\/a>
\nThou wouldst have power not to suffer.
\nKnow [then] how to suffer, and thou hast power not to suffer.<\/p>\n

That which thou knowest not, I Myself will teach thee.<\/a><\/p>\n

I am thy God, not the Betrayer\u2019s<\/a><\/p>\n

I would be kept in time with holy souls.<\/a><\/p>\n

In Me know thou the Word of Wisdom.<\/p>\n

Say thou to Me again:<\/p>\n

Glory to Thee, Father!<\/a>
\nGlory to Thee, Word!
\nGlory to These, Holy Spirit!<\/p>\n

But as for Me, if thou wouldst know what I was:
\nIn a word I am the Word who did play [or dance] all things, and was not shamed at all.
\n\u2018Twas I who leaped [and danced].<\/p>\n

But do thou understand all, and, understanding, say:<\/p>\n

Glory to Thee, Father!<\/p>\n

Amen!<\/p>\n

(And having danced these things with us, Beloved, the Lord went forth. And we, as though beside ourselves, or wakened out of [deep] sleep, fled each our several ways.)<\/p>\n
