The Cherubic Hymn

Cherubic Hymn:
The Cherubic Hymn invites us to lay aside all of our cares and to prepare ourselves to receive Christ, the King of all, Whose Body and Blood will soon become present in the bread and wine as they are consecrated on the Altar. We are called upon to "raise on high", to welcome, our King. We must give Him an exalted place in our lives and accept Him in our hearts through receiving Him worthily in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. The present Cherubic Hymn can be dated to the sixth century. The ceremonial presentation of the gifts of bread and wine on the Altar, which at one time was done in great simplicity, dates from about the same time.
