This is the third movement of his opus 132 String Quartet. It is known as the "Heiliger Dankgesang" or "Song of holy thanksgiving"
The title ("Holy Song of Thanksgiving by a Convalescent to the Divinity, in the Lydian Mode") is Beethoven's own.
My second favorite recording of this piece [my favorite isn't on youtube =(...]
The faster section has the indication "with renewed strength"
