Caedmon’s Hymn

Caedmon’s Hymn 7th century nu scylun hergan hefaenricaes uard metudæs maecti end his modgidanc uerc uuldurfadur swe he uundra gihwaes eci dryctin or astelidæ he aerist scop aelda barnum heben til hrofe haleg scepen. tha middungeard moncynnæs uard eci dryctin æfter tiadæ firum foldu frea allmectig[7] (8th century Northumbrian version) Caedmon wasn’t able to share in the group entertainment that the cowherds participated in. They would gather together, passing mead horns and passing a harp. Caedmon retreats to the stables in embarrassment where an angel appears to him and tells Caedmon to sing. Caedmon says he can’t sing, and doesn’t know what to sing about. The angel says to sing of creation.

Frey (Norse God) almighty God=Divinity, Rulership, Control, Authority Old Norse creation myths include stories of building a roof over Valhalla-the hall of the gods First attempt to express Christian creation to a pagan germanic audience.

Now let me praise the keeper of Heaven's kingdom, The might of the Creator, and his thought, The work of the Father of glory, how each of wonders The Eternal Lord established in the beginning. He first created for the sons of men Heaven as a roof, the holy Creator, Then Middle-earth the keeper of mankind, The Eternal Lord, afterwards made, The earth for men, the Almighty Lord.

Christian concepts translated into the older vocabulary of creation myth and social rulership Forms of oral formulaic and alliterative English verse can express new Christian ideas Principles of Old English word formation appear in the compounds (synonyms)
