the first part of the hymn is taken from psalm 18:9-10
He bowed the heavens also, and came down With darkness under His feet. 10 And He rode upon a cherub, and flew; He flew upon the wings of the wind.
the second part is written by someone unknown: (to me atleast) Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth be glad. Let all the tribes of the orthodox believers rejoice. For Christ the only-begotten God, ascended into the heavens.
