Let
us now praise the Guardian of the Kingdom of Heaven and the might of
the Creator, and the thought of His Mind, glorious Father of men; for
He, Lord Eternal, did frame the beginning of every marvelous thing.
He first made the heavens as a roof for the children of men, God, the
Creator! Then the mid-earth did the eternal Lord, the Guardian of
men, therewith provide, and earth for men, the Lord God Almighty!
– Saint
Cædmon
