Invocation and Royal Declaration

The Lund Gift Charter

In the name of the Holy and Undivided Trinity:
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We wish it to be known to all the faithful in Christ that I, Canute IV, son of King Sweyn, having inherited the kingdom from my father, have endowed the Church of Saint Lawrence at Lund—although it has not yet been completed—so that it may forever be the bride of the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world:

Holy for the Holy One,
spotless for the Spotless One,
worthy of the Worthy One.
