Seize the Moment – Day 1138
Today’s hymn focus will be
All Creatures of Our God and King
Luke 19:40 (NASB95)
“ But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”
This hymn is attributed to St. Francis of Assisi written just before his death in 1225 AD, exhorting all creation to worship God. Born in Italy to a rich merchant in 1182 AD, he came to Christ in his early 20’s after being released from the prisoner of war camp. Renouncing his inheritance, he began traveling the countryside, preaching the gospel to everyone he met, seeking to make Christ real, while living simply and loving nature.
It wasn’t until 1919 that an English version appeared when Rev. William H Draper used it for a children’s worship festival in Leeds, England.
All creature of our God and King,
Lift up your voice and with us sing
Alleluia, Alleluia
