Testament of Isaac 11

Pseudepigraphon

Now when he had said this, songs of praise rang out, Thou art holy, thou art holy, thou art holy. King, Lord Sabaoth; the heavens and the earth are full of thy holy glory.

2The Father said to Michael from the holy place: Michael, my steward, go quickly and gather together the angels and all the saints, so that they may come and meet my beloved Isaac.

3And Michael sounded the trumpet at once. All the saints gathered with the angels and came to the couch of our father Isaac: the Lord mounted his chariot, and the seraphim were in front of him with the angels.

4And when they came to our father Isaac's couch, our father Isaac beheld our Lord's face immediately turned towards him full of joy. He cried out: It is good that thou hast come, my Lord, and thy great archangel Michael: it is good that you have come, my father Abraham, and all the saints.
