Greetings and continued blessings, my friends. “This hymn was written by American Lutheran composer and pastoral musician, Marty Haugen - originally for the Saint Bonaventure Catholic Parish where he was the director of music at the time. The lyrics are inspired by the hymn Laudes Creaturarum (Praise of the Creatures) written by St. Francis of Assisi.” (GodSongs.net) Until we can sing together again.. Canticle of the Sun.
