All Creatures of Our God and King

 As I pondered Ecclesiastes 3 this week, I thought of this song that is based on a poem that was written by St. Francis of Assisi in 1225.  He based his poem on Psalm 148.  More recently William Henry Draper put it to music about 1919.  It was written for a children’s celebration.  The words are the second oldest words used in our hymns.  The Teacher struggles with the seeming meaninglessness of life as he observes all the circles of life and the inability to control whether the inheritor of our toil will be foolish or righteous.  This hymn draws us to the vastness of our universe and the vastness of God’s creation that praises him.  Let’s sit back for a moment and enjoy.  Blessings.
