Rhanatosan Hemin Anothen

Rhanatosan Hemin Anothen ( ῾Ρανάτωσαν ἡμῖν ἄνωθεν) is the beginning of the sixth ode by St. Joseph of the Studium, or the "Hymnologist" (q.v.), of which the following stanza is the translation of Neale:

"Rain down, ye heav'ns, eternal bliss! The cherub-cloud today Bears Jesus where his Father is, Along the starry way."

See Neale's Hymns of the Eastern Ch. p. 229 sq. (B.P.)
