Angel’s song in The Old and New Testament
Angel’s song in The Old and New Testament

Summary/Abstract: The Bible is like a man who has the Old Testament as body and The New as soul, spirit and mind that feels, lives and understands what the body reveals. The glory addressed in song by the angels to God is often expressed in the Old Testament. The prophet Isaiah reveals us one of the most important “angels' song” of Scripture and the most important in the Old Testament. The song of angels, the doxology that Isaiah hears, resounds in our prayer hymn in every Mass: “Holy, holy, holy Lord of hosts, Heaven and earth thy glory. Hosanna into the above. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the above.” The solemn singing aims to turn itself into joy and praise to God, for all the action and activity of the creature must become an endless hymn of love and glorification of God. God is the only King and Lord of the world and He alone is worthy of praise, glory and power, for He created all things and gave meaning to His creation. Although the "song of angels" of the New Testament is largely inspired by the Old Testament, by God’s embodiment and His saving work by which we were raised up on the table of God’s kingdom, "the song of angels" becomes accessible to humans, and even a call to a song with the holy angels.
