Before you listen to this BBC podcast, I'd like to quickly tell you about some others.

My name's Andy Martin and I'm the editor of a team of podcast producers at the BBC in Northern Ireland.

It's a job I really love because we get to tell the stories that really matter to people here,

but which also resonate and apply to listeners around the world.

And because the team is such a diverse range of skills and strengths,

we have trained journalists, people who love digging through archives,

we've got drama and even comedy experts.

We really can do those stories justice.

So if you like this podcast, head to BBC Sounds

where you'll find plenty more fascinating stories from all around the UK.

You're listening to a download of soul music from BBC Radio 4.

When I hear this hymn, what I see is the sun appearing like a jewel casting almost horizontal rays

which light up the burning clouds

and then as we climb the sun disappears only to rise again

it's unbelievably beautiful

oh lord my lord when when I am also wonder, consider all the works thy hand hath been.

I'm Malcolm Imhoff, and I've always felt closer to God in the mountains.

My friend Mike offered to take me to the Alps one year, and I absolutely loved it.

And then we went again the next year.

And in the third year, we were in the French Alps.

Everywhere we looked, Mont Blanc dominates the skylight.

As a mountaineer, I've really wanted to climb Montblanc.
