O King of glory and Lord of valours, our warrior and our peace; Who hast said, \u201cBe of good cheer, I have overcome the world,\u201d be Thou victorious in us Thy servants, for without Thee we can do nothing. Give us both to will and to perform. Grant Thy compassion to go before us, Thy compassion to come behind us: before us in undertaking, behind us in our ending. And what shall I more say, unless that Thy will be done, Who dost will that all men should be saved? Thy will is our salvation, our glory, and our joy. <\/p>\n

It makes my heart a little lighter to know that places like this still exist in our frantic, loud 21st Century world, where the ford trickles past the cottages and over the cobbles on Pothooks Lane, as it has done for centuries. pic.twitter.com\/QfK2N226Y6<\/a><\/p>\n — peaklass (@peaklass1) June 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n
