Mt. Hunter and Denali, Alaska Range

9

I sing my soul in a wild call

Leaping from peak to snowy peak,

Rebounding with the thundering water fall;

Laughing with God in His winter smile

Dressing His forest in Light and Glory,

And so, I sing my soul a while.

I sing my soul in the ancient moon,

Caught in the spinning web of stars

Composing a delicate crystal tune,

So God laughs with me behind His smile

In the joy of creating Light and Glory,

And so, I sing my soul a while.

I sing my soul in a faery village

Nestling in the cozy forest below my feet;

Fascinated by faery entourage

Laughing in the sparkle of God's smile.

It lays like white lace over black velvet,

And so, I sing my soul a while.

I sing my soul in the morning sun

Caressing awake the forest and granite,

Rejoicing in the gentle day freshly begun;

Warming with God in His dawn-time smile,

Sharing life with Bluejay, guardian of His domain;

And so, I sing my soul a while.
