Singað samheorte         sangas drihtne
and him neowne sang         nu ða singað;
wese his herenes         on haligra
clænre cyricean         cyðed geneahhe.

Israhelas on hine         eac blissien,
and Sione bearn         symble hihtan

Herigen his naman         neode on ðreatum,
on timpano         tidum heriað

Forðon on his folce is         fægere drihtne
wel licendlic,         and he wynlice
þam manþwærum syleð         mære hælu.
þonne on wuldre gefeoð         wel þa halgan,

15

beoð on heora husum         bliðe gedreme.
Him on gomum bið         godes oft gemynd;
heo þæs wislice         wynnum brucað,

Mid þy hi wrecan þenceað         wraðum cynnum

And hio bindan         balde þenceað
cyningas on campum,         and cuðlice
heora æðelingas don         on isene bendas,
þæt hio dom on him         deopne gecyðan

25

and þæt mid wuldre         awriten stande:
þis is haligra wuldor         her on eorðan.
