Anon Heildr 1VII/3 — ástar ‘of love’

… lífgaðra anda.
Blíðr, lífgar þrif þjóðar
þinn blástr, frömuðr ástar,
lemið synd … eykr yndi,
endrbornar hér, forna*.

… lífgaðra anda. Blíðr frömuðr ástar, þinn blástr lífgar þrif endrbornar þjóðar hér; lemið synd forna* … eykr yndi.

… of revived souls. Blessed promoter of love [= God], your breath stimulates the prosperity of reborn people here; you suppress ancient sin … it [Holy Spirit] augments joy.
