The Hymns We Sing. 3. All Creatures of our God and King - Audio

The hymn, "All Creatures of our God and King", is a paraphrase of "The Canticle of the Sun" written by St. Francis towards the end of his life. In it, St. Francis considers the otherness of God and the response of creation to Creator, which is one of praise and humility. St. Francis sees all of creation as a gift from the Creator and he points towards the great gift of embodied grace in the person of Christ Jesus.
