Text
Manichaean Psalms of Heraclides:
Let us not slumber and sleep until our Lord takes us across, his garland upon his head, his palm in his hand, wearing the robe of glory, and we go within the bridechamber and reign with him, all of us together. … He (= Jesus), by his resurrection, opened doors that were closed, the doors and bars of the men of Hades (= Death and Satan) he broke.
