While the disciples were gazing upward to catch the last glimpse of their ascending Lord, He was received into the rejoicing ranks of heavenly angels. As these angels escorted Him to the courts above, they sang in triumph, "Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises 33 unto the Lord, to Him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens. . . . Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, and His strength is in the heavens." Psalm 68:32-34, margin.

Mens disciplene stirrede opad for at opfange det sidste glimt af deres himmelfarne Herre, blev han modtaget af de himmelske engles jublende skarer. Mens disse engle ledsagede ham til de himmelske boliger, sang de denne sejrssang: "I jordens riger, syng for Gud, lovsyng Herren! Hyld ham, der farer frem på Himlenes Himle. ..... Giv Gud ære! Over Israel er hans højhed, hans vælde i skyerne." Sl. 68,33. og 35.
