Yes, those two indeed. My late first mother-in-law, a very pious Christian, would never just say that lunch was ready, but always that it was "time to be fed and wateréd By Mum's almighty ✍". Note also that I always maintain that the final 'e' of "watered" must be pronounced, as I show, so that it rhymes with "fed".

I always also enjoyed boxing the compass with "Hills of the North, rejoice". Also, "O Worship The King, All Glorious Above", a metrication of Ps 104, I think it is. Tho I would always instinctually sing in verse 1 "Incessantly sing His Joy & His love" instead of "O gratefully sing..."

Old Clootie certainly ain't got all the best choonz at that indeed!

Still an atheist, mind. But our Xtian tradition & heritage must not be forgot! There's so much of literature & history which would become absolutely opaque & incomprehensible without it.
