"They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks" (Isaiah 2:4)
Caedmon’s Hymn of Creation
Now let us praise Heaven-Kingdom’s guardian,
the Maker’s might and his mind’s thoughts,
the work of the glory-father - of every wonder,
eternal Lord. He established a beginning.
He first shaped for men’s sons
Heaven as a roof, the holy Creator;
then Middle-earth mankind’s guardian,
eternal Lord, afterwards prepared
the earth for men, the Lord almighty.
