XCVI.
[1]
Lauerd riked: glade land for-þi;Faines yles mani blissefulli.
2
Kloudes and dimnes amange,Þa sal be in his vmgange;
230
Rightinge of his sete ere þa.
3
Fire bifore him sal forgane,And in his vmgange swiþe sal he his faane.
4
Lightend his leueninges to werld of land þis;Segh and stired þe erthe it is.
5
Hilles als wax stremeden þaiFra face of lauerd night and dai;
Fra face ofe lauerd, es swa brighte,
Alle þe land thurgh-out his mighte.
6
Heuens scheweden rightwisenes his,Alle þe folke þai segh his blis.
7
Alle schente be þat bidden graues, alsÞat mirthen in þar vigours [f]als.
8
Biddes him, his aungeles ilkon.Herd and fained es Syon,
9
And gladeneden doghtres of Iude,Lauerd, for domes of þe.
10
And þou, lauerd, heghist ouer alle land nou;Swiþe mikle vphouen ouer alle goddes ertou.
11
Þat loues lauerd, iuel hate yhe;Lauerd swa wele yhemes he
Saules ofe his haliyhes, swa
Fra hand of sinfulle leses he þa.
12
Light to rightwise sprongen es,And to right of herte fainenes.
13
Faines in lauerd, rightwise, with blisse,And schriues to minde of halines hisse.
