Healed on a hike

Sally H. Turner

I love hiking in the mountains. The quiet wilderness reflects the beauty and magnificence of God, good. Rushing streams, bountiful flowers, powerful peaks, and innocent creatures all speak of God’s dominion and creativity. The mountain stream imagery in the first verse of Hymn 440 in the Christian Science Hymnal: Hymns 430–603 describes the naturalness of reaching out to God in the wilderness:

As sings the mountain stream,
Past rock and verdure wild,
So let me sing my way to You,
Your pure and happy child.
