lyrics of a religious song
From the religious song "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring".
The whole text:
"Jesu, joy of man´s desiring, Holy wisdom, love most bright; Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring. Soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned, With the fire of life impassioned, Striving still to truth unknown, Soaring, dying round Thy throne."
I have a problem understanding the "Striving still to truth unknown, Soaring, dying round Thy throne" part.
What exactly does it mean and which part of the preceding text does it refer to?
Your help greatly appreciated.

Ponáhľa vám to? Teraz niečo dokončujem, ale neskôr by som sa na to pozrieť, je to celkom výzva.
Stále se snažící poznat nepoznané pravdy
Vzlétaje, umíraje kolem Tvého trůnu
