About this picture …

Former Great Western Railway ‘Castle’ class 5043 ‘Earl of Mount Edgcumbe’ passes Padley Wood in June 2012. The locomotive was originally named Barbury Castle, after an Iron Age hill fort in Wiltshire, but was renamed in September 1937. The historic Edgcumbe family seat is Mount Edgcumbe House near Plymouth, part of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park in Cornwall just across the River Tamar. See the website Mount Edgcumbe for more information.

On His Blindness

Transcript / Notes

Verbe égal au Très-Haut, notre unique espérance,
Jour éternel de la terre et des cieux,
De la paisible nuit nous rompons le silence:
Divin Sauveur, jette sur nous les yeux.

Répands sur nous le feu de Ta grâce puissante;
Que tout l’enfer fuie au son de Ta voix;
Dissipe le sommeil d’une âme languissante
Qui la conduit à l’oubli de Tes lois!

Ô Christ! sois favorable à ce peuple fidèle,
Pour Te bénir maintenant rassemblé;
Reçois les chants qu’il offre à Ta gloire immortelle,
Et de Tes dons qu’il retourne comblé.

O Word equal to the Most High, our only hope,
Eternal day of earth and the heavens,
We break the silence of the peaceful night;
Saviour Divine, cast your eyes upon us!

Pour on us the fire of your powerful grace,
That all hell may flee at the sound of your voice;
Banish the slumber of a weary soul,
That brings forgetfulness of your laws!

O Christ, look with favour upon your faithful people
Now gathered here to praise you;
Receive their hymns offered to your immortal glory;
May they go forth filled with your gifts.
