Hymn of Ancient Lands (2015)

Nunc laudare debemus auctorem regni cælestis, potentiam creatoris, et consilium illius facta Patris gloriæ: quomodo ille, cum sit æternus Deus, omnium miraculorum auctor exstitit; qui primo filiis hominum cælum pro culmine tecti dehinc terram custos humani generis creavit, omnipotens.
Now we shall praise the Guardian of heaven’s kingdom, the might of the architect, and his purpose, the work of the father of glory as He, the eternal lord, established the beginning of wonders. For the children of men He created heaven.
tha middungeard moncynnæs uard

Then the guardian of mankind, the eternal lord, afterwards appointed middle earth the land for men; Lord almighty.
