“So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord.
His going forth is as certain as the dawn;
His going forth is as certain as the dawn;
And He will come to us like the rain;
Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
Hosea 6:3
As a teen, I went to Camp Pinnacle in Clayton, Georgia, for summer camp. On the last day the staff woke up us at 4 a.m. to hike up Mount Pinnacle. My friends and I chatted and laughed as we made our way up the steep slopes with our flashlights. It was still dark when we got to our destination and our leader told us: sit down, turn off your flashlights, and do not move or talk.
Suddenly the brilliant sun burst over the horizon revealing that we were on the edge of the pinnacle overlooking the hills and valleys, pastures and farmhouses of north Georgia. Someone started singing, "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty" and all the girls joined in. It was a goose bump moment I'll always remember.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
our song shall rise to Thee;
our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.

That would definitely be a "holy" goosebump moment for me as well. Thank you for sharing this memory. Would have loved to have been there.
Amen.Great remembrances.Hugs,dear Karen.
Oh wow! That gives me goose bumps just reading about it.
WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY. SEEING THE SUNRISE ON YOUR HIKE UP MOUNT PINNACLE MUST HAVE BEEN BEAUTIFUL. WHAT A NICE MOMENT THAT WAS FOR YOU. AND I GOT A TEAR AT THE SONG, CAUSE IT IS SUNG AT OUR CHURCH SOMETIME. I MISS RECEIVING COMMUNION AT MASS, BUT HAVE BEEN WATCHING MASS ON SUNDAY ON THE EWTN CHANNEL. THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG, KAREN. IT'S AN OLD FAVORITE OF MINE. : )
