About this Hymn
The original hymn is based on a canticle by Francis of Assisi, written near the end of his life and regarded as the oldest hymn in the Italian language. Inspired by Psalms 145 and 148 and the majesty of creation, it was first translated and adapted by William Draper for a children's hymnal used in schools.
Included here are two newer verses, written by Jonathan and Ryan Baird, that highlight the redemption, return, and reign of Christ.
