There's a church nearby that chimes in the traditional fashion, on the quarter hour. You know the time, more or less, by which part of the tune they're at when it gongs out. I don't know if these are the right words for the tune, but these are the words I was taught to sing to that tune when I was in brownies as a wee'un:
Oh Lord our God,
Thy children call,
Grant us thy peace,
And bless us all.
I'm not a religious person, but that melody remains peaceful, somehow comforting, even now, even still, to the non-believer.
