1 Caedmon’s Hymn

  • Praise we the Lord
  • Of the heavenly kingdom,
  • God’s power and wisdom,
  • The works of His hand ;
  • As the Father of glory,
  • Eternal Lord,
  • Wrought the beginning
  • Of all His wonders !
  • Holy Creator !
  • Warden of men !
  • First, for a roof,
  • O’er the children of earth,
  • He stablished the heavens,
  • And founded the world,
  • And spread the dry land
  • For the living to dwell in.
  • Lord Everlasting !
  • Almighty God !
