   • 10th century, Christ III:

     Þonne from fēowerum · foldan sċēatum,
     þām ȳtemestum · eorþan rīċes,
     englas ælbeorhte · on efen blāwað
     bȳman on brehtme. · Beofað middanġeard,
     hrūse under hæleþum. · Hlȳdað tōsomne,
     trume ond torhte, · wið tungla gong,
     singað ond swinsiaþ · sūþan ond norþan,
     ēastan ond westan, · ofer ealle ġesċeaft.

     Then from the four corners of the world, from the outmost of Earth’s kingdom, all-bright angels will blow together on trumpets in one song. Middle-earth, the ground under men, will shiver. Strong and shiny, they will resound together with the path of stars, sing and bring melody from the south and from the north, from the east and from the west, over the whole creation.
