"And when He had sung an hymn."
If we, accordingly, want to follow the example of Christ and the angels, then we must lift our voices to the praise of God with them; and, whoever thus praises God with the angels, such a person by all rights already becomes a member of the angelic, triumphant Church in this life. And, what he intones and begins here, that he will bring to completion there in eternity with the more lofty choir. Such glorification and praise of God is also a sure indication of the indwelling by the Holy Spirit. -- Johann Gerhard, *An Explanation* p. 47
