Eala Earendel engla beorhtast
ofer middangeard monnum sended,
ond soðfæsta sunnan leoma,
torht ofer tunglas,-- þu tida gehwane
of sylfum þe symle inlihtes.
Hail Earendel, brightest of angels,
sent over Middle-earth to men,
and true light of the sun,
radiant beyond the stars -- you will illuminate all time
from thy very self for ever.
Christ I.104-08
