Poem of the Day: OSWALD.Xprist.Retro

Terrigene bene nunc laudent, ut condecet, almum
vocibus excelsis sic sibi perplacitis.
Celigenam patre de celo for gaudia mundi
debita solvente[m]: que pia perficiat!
Omnipotens habet hic nomen, hoc fungitur actu;
viribus eternis est iugis altithronus.
Verbotenus fore sunt que fecit robore grandi:
omnia subsistunt, ut regit omnipatrans.
