Scholars have debated whether the Odes should be considered Jewish, Christian or Gnostic, and whether they were first written in Greek, Hebrew or Syriac. Early Christian writings refer to and quote from them. A Syriac manuscript containing the text of most of the Odes was discovered in 1909 by the English scholar J. Rendel Harris, and other partial texts in various languages have also been found. there are 42 Odes. Some fragments are still missing from Odes I and III, and no part of Ode II has yet been found. for these choral settings, I selected text from four of the Odes of Solomon which I found particularly compelling. the anonymous translation I have used comes from the Gnostic Society Library.  less

O. Afriyie Duet - Dr. Oduro-Barnie Kwaku Anim - Mr. Prince theophilus Adjei Despite the many blessings and gifts that we receive from God on a daily basis, many of us fail to recognize or appreciate them. We take the beauty of nature, the love of our family and friends, and even our own existence for granted, forgetting that each of these is a precious gift from our Creator. Ultimately, our ingratitude towards God is a reflection of our own spiritual blindness and ignorance. We fail to see the many ways in which God is present in our lives, and we fail to recognize the many blessings that He bestows upon us each day. If we truly wish to overcome our ingratitude, we must learn to open our hearts and minds to God's presence, and we must strive to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving in all that we do. - Musikteers Ensemble Gh #trending #Hymns #popular #viral #music #art #artist #choralmusic #sacred #soothing @VOCES8 @theSympho...    less
