Now While They Were Thus Drawing Towards The Gate, Behold, A Company Of The Heavenly Host Came To Meet Them; To Whom It Was Said By The Other Two Shining Ones, These Are The Men That Have Loved Our Lord When They Were In The World, And That Have Left All For His Holy Name; And He Hath Sent Us To Fetch Them, And We Have Brought Them Thus Far On Their Desired Journey, That They May Go In And Look Their Redeemer In The Face With Joy.
