1Heriað ge on heofenum hælend Drihten,

2Heriað hine ealle engla ðreatas,
lofige hine swylce eall his leodmægen.
3Herigen hine swylce sunna and mona,

4Heofenas hine heofena herian georne,
and þa wæter swylce ðe ofer wolcnum synt

5Forðon he sylfa cwæð, sona wærun

and gesceapene wærun, þa he sylfa het.
6Þa he on ecnesse eall staðelade
and on worulda woruld wolde healdan;

7Herigen dracan swylce Drihten of eorðan,
and ealle neowelnessa herian naman Drihtnes.
8Fyr, forst, hægel and gefeallen snaw,

and on eallum cedrum ciið alæded,

and ealdormen ahwær syndan,
and ealle þe þas eorþan ahwær demeð.
12Beon ge, hægestealdas and glade fæmnan,

13For þon his anes nama ofer ealle is

14He horn hefecð holdes folces,

on his neaweste neode wunian.
