Up to the Everlasting Hills

O God, give me the spirit of the true pilgrim: brave, steadfast, my face set toward Jerusalem. Let me never walk with downcast eyes, sad, sullen, hesitating. Make me to be ever lifting them up to the everlasting hills -- to Thee, the Unchangeable, the Strong, the All-Beautiful.

-- Mabel Selina Dalton, A Year of Cheer
