If anybody knows who it is, please let me know! Part of the Orthodox Catholic Church service sung at the great Entrance during the Liturgy of the Holy Pre-sanctified Gifts, which is served on Wednesdays and Fridays during great Lent. The first two verses are sung very slowly, then there is a silence during which the preist carries the pre-sanctified gifts through the holy doors. All the people prostrate in silence and then the last verse plus three alleluyas is sung. "Now the powers of heaven invisibly worship with us For behold, the King of glory doth enter. Behold the mystical sacrifice is escorted in. Let us with faith and longing draw near and become partakers of life everlasting. Alleluya." This is from The OK Chorale's second public concert in March 2013 at St. Mary's Church, Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK.  less
