THIS WEEK'S HYMNS
LEVAS-II 12 We're marching to Zion

1982 593 Lord, make us servants of your peace
1982 492 Sing ye faithful, sing with gladness
HYMN INFORMATION:
All creatures of our God and King is based on a "laude" (a popular Italian spiritual song for religious gatherings outside of the liturgy) authored by Saint Francis of Assisi almost 800 years ago. His "Song of Brother Sun and of All Creatures," also known as "Canticle of the Sun," is generally considered to be one of the earliest literary works written in the Italian language, expressing the basic unity of all creation and Francis' unqualified love of all creatures, great and small. Early in the 20th century, English rector William Henry Draper freely versified the hymn in English, personifying the animals and calling on them to join in God's praise. Rev. Draper paired the text with a 17th century German Catholic tune, Lasst uns Erfreuen, which had recently been rediscovered and arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams for the hymn "Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones," which we also often sing.
