Blessed true-steerer of the sun-land [SKY/HEAVEN > = God (= Christ)], alone, undeserving, you took a painful death upon yourself for all the hosts of men [MANKIND], and you granted life to bushes of arm-fires [GOLD RINGS > MEN], lord of men [= God (= Christ)]; you freed the host of men [MANKIND] from a cruel abundance of grief.
