Grant us a ray of light in this darkness
Similar to above - I just think "grant us" is more appropriate than "give us" in this context.
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Jane Gabbutt
: "Grant" sounds more poetic and in line with the tone of the text. "This darkness" is less clumsy than the translation above.
