Come together

Come Together

Come together, O sons of the earth, and hear
the angel who was sent out

With the message of the skies.
You came and were a gathering, you came

and they gathered in you.
Tell us the message of the skies.

You came and the aeons were in rank,
You came and they gathered in you.

Tell us
the message of the skies.

Wake, you who sleep.
Wake, you who sleep. Sleep in the cavern

that you can receive the sky's message
The carrier of the message is on his way

with message from the land of light
to speak out the message of the skies.

He was sent out. He raced laughing
to the first man to tell him the message.

He came and knocked on the gates
and shouted, Open at once.

I have the message of the skies!

- Song of Herakleides, from The Gnostic Bible


On the birthday of the Holy Prophet Mani ( 216 - 277 CE)
