‘I am determined to take care of my mother; I shall rise up,’ said the ruler of the sun [= God (= Christ)], ‘[and] lead us to life from death; I shall [be] eager to see you first. Be cheerful, because I shall come to meet you from bright heaven, power-deft one; I shall readily with joy place you next to me in the gleaming heaven.’
[1-4]: The content of this helmingr echoes that of st. 18. — [5-8]: Cf. Mar (1871, 1008): skalltu med sæmd ok æfinnligum fagnadi þangat komazt, þuiat ek uil nu bua fyrir þier sæmiligan stad, sem himirikis drottning byriar ‘you shall come there with honour and eternal joy, because I will now prepare for you a glorious place as it is fitting for the queen of heaven’.
