About this work

XV. Then the angels taking it up sing

‹ Section 14 Section 16 ›

a

song

and

hymn

,

making

melody

to

God

,

and

again

other

troops

of

angels

come

in

haste

to

meet

them

,

saluting

the

soul

that

is

coming

and

entering

into

the

firmaments

.

And

when

it

has

come

to

the

place

where

it

is

to

worship

God

,

the

son

of

God

himself

,

together

with

the

angels

,

receives

the

soul

of

the

blessed

one

and

bears

it

to

the

undefiled

father

of

the

ages

,

and

again

,

when

the

angels

sing

above

,

we

being

below

listen

to

them

,

and

again

we

sing

and

they

listen

in

heaven

above

,

and

thus

between

us

and

the

angels

there

arises

a

giving

of

praise

in

hymns

.

But

when

the

soul

of

the

blessed

one

,

falling

upon

its

face

,

worships

the

Lord

,

then

we

also

falling

down

worship

the

Lord

in

that

same

hour

,

and

when

the

Lord

raises

it

up

then

we

also

arise

;

and

when

it

goes

to

its

appointed

place

,

we

also

go

into

the

church

,

fulfilling

the

eucharist

of

the

Lord

.
