For those in peril in the air…
Longer version without subtitles.
o7
-
O Ruler of the earth and sky
be with our airmen when they fly;
and keep them in thy loving care
amid the perils of the air.
O let our cry come unto thee
for those who fly o'er land and sea.
-
Strong Son of Man, save those who fly
swift-winged across th'uncharted sky;
each anxious hour and lonely flight,
serene, unchallenged, day and night.
O'er land and ocean safely bear
all those in peril in the air.
-
O Holy Spirit, God's own power
give peace in sudden danger's hour:
bring calm of heart, and be thou near
to those who watch and those who fear.
To thee will rise the grateful prayer
of those who serve thee in the air.
-
O Trinity of love and grace,
true guide of all who fly through space,
in peace or war, mid friend or foe,
be with them whereso'er they go.
So shall our praise with heaven's blend
and joyful hearts to thee ascend.
This is the other verse, used in the film "The Right Stuff".
Lord guard and guide the men who fly
Through your great spaces in the sky.
Be with them always in the air
In darkening storms or sunlight fair.
Oh hear us when we lift our prayer
To those in peril in the air.
I've been logging more than usual amounts of 2-reg plane traffic from Jersey today. One notable one was 2-RNWL that flew from Kafalonia, Greece to Biggin Hill then on to Jersey.
Are the dark money people getting nervous after this weekend?
Is Macron sending for his offshore stash?
I want the UK to stay in the EU. I want all of the fuckers with offshore money trusts and tax avoidance stashes to have their collective balls nailed to the wall under the new EU Offshore Trusts and Tax Avoidance Directive that came into force in January. They deserve to lose the lot.
All done in the pursuit of profit.
Bell's Palsy, or possibly a stroke.
