C.S. Lewis on How to Avoid God:

Though the Scottish Psalter of 1650 is one of the great treasures of hymnody, its beautiful rendition of Psalm 23 is the only portion widely sung beyond Scotland:

“The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want.

The clockmaker accidentally added an extra mark to one of the five-minute sections, making each hour 61 minutes long. This means a day in Crimond is 24 minutes longer than anywhere else in the world—a perfect excuse for a little extra time to sing “The Lord’s My Shepherd.”

Listen to this beautiful hymn, which was sung at the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth at Westminster Abbey on Monday, 19 September 2022.
