Apocalypse of Abraham

1 And while he was still speaking, behold, a fire was coming toward us round about, and a sound was in the fire like a sound of many waters, like a sound of the sea in its uproar. 17:2 And the angel bowed with me and worshiped. 17:3 And I wanted to fall face down to the earth. And the place of elevation on which we both stood sometimes was on high, sometimes rolled down. 17:4 And he said, “Only worship, Abraham, and recite the song which I taught you.” 17:5 Since there was no earth to fall to, I only bowed down and recited the song which he had taught me. 17:6 And he said, “Recite without ceasing.” 17:7 And I recited, and he himself recited the song: 17:8 “O, Eternal, Mighty, Holy El, God Autocrat, 17:9 Self-Begotten, Incorruptible, Immaculate, Unbegotten, Spotless, Immortal, 17:10 Self-Created, Self-Illuminated, Without Mother, Without Father, Without Genealogy, 17:11 High, Fiery, 17:12 Wise, Lover Of Men, Favorable, Generous, Bountiful, Jealous Over Me, Patient, Most Merciful, 17:13 Eli {that is, my God,} Eternal, Mighty, Holy Sabaoth, Most Glorious El, El, El, El, Yahoel. 17:14 You are he whom my soul has loved, the Guardian, Eternal, Fiery, Shining, Light-Formed, Thunder-Voiced, Lightning-Looking, Many-Eyed, 17:16 receiving the entreaties of those who honor you and turning away from the entreaties of those who besiege you by the siege of their provocation, 17:17 releases those who are in the midst of the impious, those who are confused among the unrighteous of the inhabited world in the corruptible life, renewing the life of the righteous. 17:18 You make the light shine before the morning light upon your creation from your face in order to bring the day on the earth. 17:19 And in your heavenly dwellings there is an inexhaustible other light of an inexpressible splendor from the lights of your face. 17:20 Accept my prayer, and let it be sweet to you, and also the sacrifice which you yourself made to yourself through me who searched for you. 17:21 Receive me favorably and show to me, and teach me, and make known to your servant as you have promised me.”
