The Official Version of the words to accompany the Cambridge Quarters is:-
ALL THROUGH THIS HOUR
LORD BE MY GUIDE
AND BY THY POWER
NO FOOT SHALL SLIDE
This is the version used by Her Majesty's Stationery Office in Official Gui=
des to the Clock Tower. The current Pitkin guide does not mention it.
One of the HMSO Guides interestingly states that credit for the popularity =
of the Cambridge Quarters is due to E. B. Denison, the future Lord Grimthor=
pe "The simple dignity of the quarter-chimes appealed to London as they had=
appealed to [him}] when he first heard them as a student at Cambridge.....=
..heard on a louder and larger scale they soon lost their Cambridge identit=
y and became known to the world as the Westminster Chimes".
With respect to the rest of the world, I still call them the Cambridge Quar=
ters.

Sorry, that should be:
"No STEP may slide."
