Hymn of the Savior
I am the abundance of light,
I am the remembrance of Fullness.
I am the light dwelling in light,
I am the remembrance of Forethought–
I am the Forethought of pure light,
I am the thought of the Virgin Spirit, who raises you to a place of honor.
Arise, remember that you have heard
and trace your root,
which is I, the compassionate.
Guard yourself against the angels of misery,
the demons of chaos, and all who entrap you,
and beware of deep sleep
and the trap in the bowels of the underworld.
– The Secret Book of John, The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, edited by Marvin Meyer, p 131-132
