Description
A small collection of works that give an opportunity to taste C.J.S. Hayward's writing in the small, and then see why it might be nice to read Hayward's flagship collection 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯'𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘳 and other works

Summary
There are just two little works in the present volume: "The Angelic Letters" offers an angelic counterpart to C.S. Lewis, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, and "Doxology" pours forth a hymn to the glory of God.

Excerpt
How shall I praise thee, O Lord? For naught that I might say, Nor aught that I may do, Compareth to thy worth. Thou art the Father for whom every fatherhood in Heaven and on earth is named, The Glory for whom all glory is named, The Treasure for whom treasures are named, The Light for whom all light is named, The Love for whom all love is named, The Eternal by whom all may glimpse eternity, The Being by whom all beings exist, יהוה Ο ΩΝ. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Who art eternally praised, Who art all that thou canst be, Greater than aught else that may be thought, Greater than can be thought. In thee is light, In thee is honour, In thee is mercy, In thee is wisdom, and praise, and every good thing. For good itself is named after thee, God immeasurable, immortal, eternal, ever glorious, and humble. What mighteth compare to thee? What praise equalleth thee? If I be fearfully and wonderfully made, Only can it be, Wherewith thou art fearful and wonderful, And ten thousand things besides, Thou who art One, Eternally beyond time, So wholly One, That thou mayest be called infinite, Timeless beyond time thou art, The One who is greater than infinity art thou. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, The Three who are One, No more bound by numbers than by word, And yet the Son is called Ο ΛΟΓΟΣ, The Word, Divine ordering Reason, Eternal Light and Cosmic Word, Way pre-eminent of all things, Beyond all, and infinitesimally close, Thou transcendest transcendence itself, The Creator entered into his Creation, Sharing with us humble glory, Lowered by love, Raised to the highest, The Suffering Servant known, The King of Glory, Ο ΩΝ. What tongue mighteth sing of thee? What noetic heart mighteth know thee, With the knowledge that drinketh,
