Adam's Deliverance - A Mandaean Hymn

In the name of the Great Life the sublime Light be glorified. From the Place of Light I have come forth, from you, everlasting dwelling-place From the Place of Light I have come forth, and an uthra from the House of Life accompanied me. The uthra who accompanied me from the House of the Great Life held a staff of living water in his hand. The staff which he held in his hand was completely full of leaves. He gave me its branches, of which the ritual books and prayers were full. Then he gave me more of them, and then my suffering heart was healed. My suffering heart was healed and my world-shy soul found peace.
