Recently a 97 year old widow asked me if I knew the Big Ben hymn! When I looked puzzled she began to sing the following words to the 4 chimes. “O Lord my God. Be Thou my guide. That by Thy help no foot may slide!”
The bells of the great clock of Westminster first rang across London on 31st May 1859. This was also the year of a wonderful revival of Christianity over a large park of the western world. In Britain the powerful proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ was packing churches to the doors and changing the lives of hundreds of thousands.
I’m sure that if we each resolve to pray and obey the Big Ben prayer, during 2008, our Nation would be blessed again.
