About “All Creatures of Our God and King - Live”
The hymn traces back to the Canticle of the Sun, written by Francis of Assisi around 1225, which William Henry Draper paraphrased into English in the early 1900s for a children's Whitsuntide festival in Leeds. Sovereign Grace Music's arrangement, by brothers Jonathan and Ryan Baird, adapts the old German tune and adds two newly written verses. This live recording, led by Devon Kauflin, was released in November 2017 on the album Prayers of the Saints (Live).
