Gamlkan Has 19VII/2 — mikil ‘a great’

Þú vast, mæztr, frá meyju,
mikil dýrð es þat fyrðum —
hauðrs, í heim með lýðum,
hildingr, borinn mildri.
Sæll bart óstyrkð alla,
ágætr, ok meinlæti,
skrýðir skýja slóðar
skríns, á líkam þínum.

Mæztr hildingr hauðrs, þú vast borinn í heim með lýðum frá mildri meyju; þat es mikil dýrð fyrðum. Ágætr skrýðir skríns slóðar skýja, bart sæll alla óstyrkð ok meinlæti á líkam þínum.

Most precious prince of the earth [= God (= Christ)], you were born into the world amongst men of a gentle maiden; that is a great honour to mankind. Glorious adorner of the shrine of the path of the clouds [HEAVEN > = God (= Christ)], you gladly bore all weaknesses and sufferings on your body.
