Old English originals (Anglo-Saxon Poetic Records)
Herigean nu cnihtas hælynd drihten, and naman dryhtnes neode herigan. Wese nama dryhtnes neode gebletsad of ðyssan forð awa to worulde. Fram upgange æryst sunnan oðþæt heo wende on westrodur ge sculon dryhtnes naman dædum herigean. He is ofer ealle ingeþeode se heahsta hæleða cynnes, is ofer heofenas eac ahafen his wuldur. Hwylc ys anlic urum dryhtne, þam halgan gode, þe on heofonrice eadig eardað, ofer ealle gesyhð, þa eadmedu æghwær begangæð
on eorðwege, up on heofenum? He of eorðan mæg þone unagan weccan to willan, and of woruftorde þone þearfendan þriste areccan, And hine on ealdordom upp asettan his folces fruman on fæger lif. Se þe eard seteð unwæstmbærre on modor hus manigra bearna; hio ofer hire suna symblað and blissað.
