Se sunu - this is the only place in the poem where Christ is referred to in this way. At l.83 he is called "bearn godes" but the absolute title of "the Son" would seem to identify him precisely as the second person of the Trinity as in the Latin "in nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti". The other titles in this passage "anwealda ælmihtig", "wealdend", "ælmihtig god" are titles of power equally appropriate to God the Father. and the vocabulary "sigorfæst", "mihtig 7spedig" and the conception of the "siðfæt" and Christ as leading an army of spirits "gasta weorode" harks back to the concept of Christ on the cross as the heroic warrior. His battle with Satan is complete and he leads his army (now rescued) back to his and their true home (eðel).
