Hi Bob --
Standard practice is to use a Matthew Walker or Double Wall knot for the dead end, reeve the lanyard, set it up with the biggest tackle you dare, and then finish off with a cow hitch around the shroud above the upper deadeye, with the tail end seized to the lanyard. Reference: Ashley # 682, 676, 3238, and 3317.
