Lyrics to the hymn, All Creatures Of Our God And King

The sun during a solar eclipse


   Introduction 

Hello, my friends, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have about today's hymn.

Today's hymn is the one written by St. Francis of Assisi in 1225, All 

Creatures Of Our God And King; it was paraphrased by William H. Draper, and is probably the oldest hymn I have done yet.

It is praising God for His creativity in making the world, and telling His creation to praise their Creator.

If you don't know how the tune goes, Folksandhymns sang it, and gave me the inspiration for this post; so go check them out on YouTube.

Now, on with the show!

  The Lyrics 

Verse 1 

All creatures of our God and King

Lift up your voice and with us sing,

"Alleluia! Alleluia!"

Thou burning sun with golden beam,

Thou silver moon with softer gleam.

O, praise Him! O, praise Him!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 

Verse 2 

Thou rushing wind that art so strong,

Ye clouds that sail in Heaven along,

O, praise Him! Alleluia!

Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice;

Ye lights of evening, find a voice!

O, praise Him! O, praise Him!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 

Verse 3 

Thou flowing water, pure and clear, 

Make music for thy Lord to hear,

O, praise Him! Alleluia!

Thou fire so masterful and bright, 

That givest man both warmth and light,

O, praise Him! O, praise Him!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Verse 4 

And all ye men of tender heart, 

Forgiving others take your part!

O, sing ye! Alleluia!

Ye who long pain and sorrow bear,

Praise God, and on Him cast your care!

O, praise Him! O, praise Him!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 

Verse 5

Let all things their Creator bless,

And worship Him in humbleness!

O, praise Him! Alleluia!

Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,

And praise the Spirit, Three in One!

O, praise Him! O, praise Him!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 

The sun through solar eclipse glasses 

Afterwards 

Isn't it beautiful? It is actually quite easy to write, seeing how all the words blend together. Well done, St. Francis! 

We have a truly wonderful creator; tell me, if you had to make the world, what would it be like?

I know what it would be like: Boring.

We humans are actually, believe it or not, are not that creative; I mean, have you seen my artwork?!

We need inspiration with everything we do; cooking, art, writing, everything.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
