Another Hymn of Ephrem Which Confirms the Divine Mystery of the Throne
The Son of the Maker is like unto His Father as Maker! He made Himself a pure body, he clothed Himself with it, and came forth and clothed our weakness with glory, which in His mercy He brought from the Father. From Melkizedek the high priest a hyssop came to thee, a throne and crown from the house of David, a race and family from Abraham. Be though unto me a Port for Thy own sake, O great Sea. Lo! the Psalms of David Thy Father, and the words also of the Prophets, came forth unto me, as it were ships. David thy Father, in the hundred and tenth Psalm, twined together two numbers as it were crowns to Thee, and came, O Conquerer! With these shalt Thou be crowned and unto the throne shalt Thou ascend and sit. A great crown in the number that is twined in the hundred wherein is crowned thy Godhead. A little crown is that of the number ten which crowned the head of Thy Humanity, O Victorious One! [Ephrem, Hymn Seven]
