This Article, by Gregory Dipippo, is taken from, and can be read in full at, NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT

This ancient Hymn was borrowed by The Byzantine Rite
from the Liturgy of Saint James, and is sung at
The Great Entrance, in place of the Cherubic Hymn, when
The Divine Liturgy of Saint Basil the Great is Celebrated
on the morning of Holy Saturday.

This particularly impressive Old Church Slavonic version
is sung by the Choir of the Sretensky Monastery in Moscow.
