Melodies & Musings

I have always loved the hymn, All Creatures of Our God and King. The music of that hymn is beautiful, but its words really resonate with me. My favorite is the fourth verse. It reads:

Dear Mother Earth, who day by day

Unfoldest blessings on our way,

Alleluia! Alleluia!

The flow’rs and fruits that in thee grow,

Let them his glory also show,

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Alleluia! Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!

I have always felt peace and joy being out in the beauty of nature, so maybe that’s why this verse really resonates with me. Our Heavenly Father made this beautiful world for us to live in, and He wants us to enjoy it. For me, I can feel my Heavenly Father’s love the most when I am outside and enjoying the beauty around me. And as this verse tells us, the earth helps us see the blessings around us and the flowers and fruits that grow on the earth show us the glory of Him who created them. Thinking about this makes me want to sing, “Alleluia! Oh, praise Him! Alleluia!”

What hymn or song helps you feel closer to God, and what makes it meaningful to you? Where in nature do you feel the most peace, and how does the beauty of God’s creations help you feel His love?
