Anon Heildr 16VII/2 — kunna ‘come to know’

Veit, at vér megim réttan,
vits brunnr, fyr þik kunna
föður í fylking saðri,
friðskýrðr, ok son dýrðar;
ok kæran þik þeira,
þrifa eggjandi, beggja
anda allar stundir,
alstyrkr, með trú dyrkim.

Friðskýrðr brunnr vits, veit, at vér megim fyr þik kunna réttan föður ok son í saðri fylking dýrðar; ok dyrkim þik, alstyrkr eggjandi þrifa, kæran anda beggja þeira allar stundir með trú.

Peace-glorified spring of wisdom, grant that we may, through you, come to know the true Father and the Son in the true crowd of glory; and [that] we may worship you, almighty encourager of well-being, dear spirit of both of them for all time with faith.
