Ʒeond þa beda ure heahfæðera, O Aʒend Iesus Crist ʒeáre us!For the non-Old English Speakers...I thought that I would start a new thread about Old English because I am learning it. I have translated some Orthodox prayers for you all. Yes, I am indeed learning Old English. Enjoy!
Dómweorðung æt Þu, O Aʒend, Dómweorðung æt Þu.
O Heofonisc cyning, se frefrend, se Gæst þæs æwdan, þæt instendeþ welwær and afylþ ealle þing, feohhord goda, cume and abide on us, and ʒebierg ure sawla, O Gód!
Halig God, Halig Mihtig, Halig Undéadlic, ʒeáre us! (þri tide)
Dómweorðung þæm Fæðere, and þæm Suna, and þæm Heahgæste. Ʒe nu ʒe æfre and æt þa worulda þara worulda. Amen.

I just found the origins of English to be interesting.
Basically, it's the standard prayers that begin most of the canonical hours. Linguistics is a crazy hobby of mine!
Comments? Criticism? Anyone else speak/learning/interested in Old English?
In Christ,
