Jesus Christ the Splendor

Jesus the Splendor, voice before any sound Earliest word spoken Silent kind messenger of primeval joy Unending bright epiphany Shining as ageless wisdom who calls you in Classical wonder before any dim star Heartbeat before weakened blood flowed Relieving faith before any sweet tear fell Immemorial still perfection Soporific and eternal pleasantness Timeless patience for you at night Time-honoured meekness that shall attain the world High-standing calmness for harsh storms Elegant righteousness as a crown for you Saintly kindness to be worn by the elect Primeval gift from the Father Long-standing attainment through the Father’s grace Endless blessing before all things Nirvana of praise that Mani arrived at Deathless treasure shining with light Original soft garment of golden light Revelation of Jesus, the light in you Based on the hymn "Twenty-Two Aspects of Jesus the Splendor" from the Book of Hymns (page 48) on r/Manichaeism on Reddit (in Resources of Manichaeism section).
