The lyrics to the clock chime

You know the melody a chiming clock plays on the quarter hour? Did you know it’s called Westminster Quarters?

Did you know it has lyrics?

O Lord our God
Be thou our guide
That by thy help
No foot may slide

Shouldn’t the militant atheists—the “there is no God and I hate him” crowd—be all over this? Silence the clocks for their heinous deferrals to an invisible sky daddy!

I quite like knowing the lyrics. A chiming clock is a common thing to encounter, making Westminster Quarters an excellent trigger and prayer, all in one.
