Answer 1

Answer: He would be grateful and praise God in song.
Caedmon's Hymn is a poem that was originally written in Old English. It was composed between 658 and 680 and therefore, is the oldest recorded Old English poem.
Caedmon was a cow-herder who, after witnessing a miracle, was able to sing a Christian song in verse, the words of which he had never heard before.
