Note the active way in which Christ's death is expressed. This reflects the gospel account (see St. Matthew Ch.27) and is paralleled elsewhere in OE e.g. Andreas 1327 "þæt he on gealgan his gast onsende"; Elene 480 "on galgan his gast onsende". Juliana has a similar expression for St Andrew 308 "þæt he unsnytrum Andreas het/ ahon haligne on heanne beam,/ þæt he of galgan his gæst onsende/ in wuldres wlite".
