- Fulfilling a request to do the song "All Creatures of Our God and King". Decided on an acapella version.
Lyrics:
All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou rushing wind that art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in heav’n along
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Thou rising moon, in praise rejoice
Ye lights of evening, find a voice
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
And all ye men of tender heart
Forgiving others, take your part
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Ye who long pain and sorrow bear
Praise God and on Him cast your care
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Let all things their Creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
O praise Him! Alleluia
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, Three in One
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Words by: Francis of Assisi, ca.1225 (tr. by William H. Draper, pub.1919 alt.)
Music by: Anonymous/Unknown, pub.1623 (har. by Ralph V. Williams, pub.1906)
Love the song without a bunch of noise in the background... Sounds more praiseworthy to the Lord...
That's because its the way that Jesus wants to be praised. We can tell this by 2 factors. The first is that Jesus said a day is coming when my followers will worship me in spirit and truth. The second is that the Jewish Christians stopped using instruments after Jesus ascended back to Heaven. Its remarkable how fast that tradition changed.
I've been around music and musicians all my life and I never heard this song done more soulfully. Not only is this a refreshing change from music that has good lyrics but designed primarily to entertain, I'm of the opinion that musical harmony does as much as anything to create social harmony. Well done.
"Let everything that has breath praise Him" Psalm 150:6
I Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."
Oh, my goodness! When that third harmony came in, I just lost it. This is so gorgeous. I love this hymn. Amazing work.
you have no idea of how your interpretation of this beautiful hymn has touched my soul, thank you very much. greetings from Venezuela
I thought the 'big cathedrals choirs' were best at this traditional Hymn of Praise to God, but now they have a rival! How simply uncontrived and heartfelt - As an Anglican chorister, I bow to talent....God bless
Blessings for accomplishing this...so well done. Saint Francis must be smiling in heaven.
The fuller harmony with three voices on is superbly blended, and doubling the melody is inspired. Francis of Assisi would be impressed. The entering voices made for a great aural dictation exercise. Thank you.
Truly beautiful. Someone said that music was a creation of God. All music is for worship. It is what we sing about and to who, that shows who we worship. No mistaking here. 💛
Praise God!!! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL🙏🏽😇😇🙏🏽💜👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Dear Brother, you have a fantastic voice, you can sing with your soul and heart! Many thanks! God bless you! Greetings from Hungary
This is one of my favorite hymns; I love the lyrics. Your singing it is simply beautiful, thank you for sharing.
should have ,millions of views..
great stuff; I listen to this once or twice every night. Helps me sleep better. A great reminder of Christ's kingship!
Powerful! You have wonderful talent.
what gorgeous harmonies such anointing
Wow. Oh my goodness! Closed my eyes and suddenly felt I must be in heaven. God has given you a mighty talent and so thankful He did. God bless!
So beautifully sung, we all need to give Praises to God, at this time of uncertainty with Covid in our midst. Give praise with a good heart. God bless all of you and keep you safe always. 🙏🏽
This is marvelous... congrats
hey this is literally the best acapella version of any song i've ever heard
When Jesus asks, What did you do with the gifts I gave you- How did you share them- THIS IS A PHENOMENAL ANSWER! What a blessing to my soul! Thank you young man!
This is one of my favorite hymns! We sang it at church last Sunday. This is beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your clear voice. Even my husband, a former Texas Boys Choir member, gave you accolades. So many singers these days add flourishes taking away from the message. Simply powerful.
Thanks, great to sing along to. I just listened to about 10 versions here on youtube, and I think yours is the best.
I only wish you'd had access to this verse: "Dear mother earth, who day by day Unfoldest blessings on our way, O praise Him! Alleluia! The flowers and fruits that in thee grow, Let them His glory also show! O praise Him, O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
+givebirthathome Thank you for your kind words. I am familiar with that verse you mentioned; however, at the time as I was preparing the arrangement, I did not care for the idea of "dear mother earth" (though, by all means, the rest of the verse is great, that God's creation would show His glory) and using only four verses worked better for the way I wrote one vocal for each verse. So, I chose to leave it out.
+TheNCrew EliEli Thanks. The omission jumped out at me, because the 1956 Baptist hymnal my church uses has the mother earth verse as one of the four it selected out of what seems to be Francis of Assissi's original six.
+TheNCrew EliEli "dear mother earth" really looks like new age music preaches. Very good decision to take it out. "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5.21-22
@@peser71 Absolutely good job in building up your brother in Christ (funny how it has Francis of Assissi's prints on it).
Thank you! God super bless you! Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful, and thank you for using the original words from the Cokesbury : ) So well done.
WOW!! Gave me goosebumps when all the voices were added at the end. Very good job!!
This is still my favorite video of yours
Was searching for a good choral version of this hymn and clicked here 99% sure it wasn't my kind of thing... but I was sold by the second verse. Beautifully done. Thanks!
Thank you Lord God that you love us enough to give gifts like this. You have a gift man, keep using it for God!
I've had this song stuck in my head all day long, and I love your version of it. Very cool sound and love the words to the song! Thank you for using your talent to the Glory of our King!

How I was Saved
“Perfect love casteth out fear” - 1 John 4:18
My father was never truly proud or happy about me, until few years back, when he was on his death bed, he witnessed me giving my life to Jesus. He died with the hope that He will see me when Jesus comes. How can I let my father down? And more than that, how can I let my Christ down?
Born in an Adventist family in Lowry Campus in Bangalore, a third generation Seventh-day Adventist. Though I knew Christ, I did not know His love; seldom heard from anybody in the family or in the church. The love of pleasure and the world was all that I knew.
I had not accepted Christ as my personal Saviour, there was nothing in me to restrain me from sin. Sin drizzled in this dry soul, it seemed to be satisfying but I soon realised I was flooded with it; oh how heavy was that burden, filled with so much fear and guilt. I even got baptised when I was in 11th grade, yet had not known His love.
Of all sins, it was Sabbath breaking that caused great guilt to me, although I never truly kept the Sabbath holy all through my life; when I started working on Sabbath, I felt I had gone too far. It was during this stage of my life, my father was diagnosed of Cancer; we did all that we could to save him but all was in vain. My father was not a perfect man yet he loved me and I loved him too. I couldn’t be separated from him.
I was one day at work, and at noon, my brother called me. He had taken my father to Manipal Hospital, where the doctor said that my father would die in two months. This was the first time my life was stopped by God. My life was like a snow ball, rolling down the mountain and I could never stop it, it was like a fast moving train which had no brakes and I could never stop. Although I was tired of running and though I needed rest, I couldn’t stop. But the Lord stopped. For the first time, I could see life. Oh, I wish I could see life everyday like that.
I went home; I did not know how to face my father, mother and brother. I am the elder son, and they looked to me for help, oh how helpless I felt that day, words cannot say. If I truly loved my father, I could not let him die. I sat on the couch, leaned back my head, first time ever in my life I realized how helpless I was.
In all that turbulence, I heard a voice, a soft voice of an angel, for the first time in my life (not a literal voice). The Lord said, you have tried enough, why don’t you give your life to Me. I immediately told my family, that we need to give our lives to God before we do anything more. The Spirit of the Lord took control of me and I mourned like Hannah, I knew I was at the very throne of grace, at the feet of Christ. I was touched, and I knew for sure that it was the hand of God. I stopped running for the first time. I knew my sins were forgiven; for it was a new beginning, it was the first day of my spiritual life.
Though my father lived a worldly life, towards the end of his life, even before he was diagnosed of Cancer, the Lord was striving with him, however it was after the sickness was diagnosed, that my father strived harder to receive the love of God. He repented from all his sins and he received the hope of eternal life. His next concern was about us. One day, he lay on his sickbed with so much pain, sinking day by day. I was alone with him and I knelt near him and started crying to God, I wept and fought with God. It was a long cry and at the end of the prayer, my father told me something that he had never told me in my life. He said, no one has ever prayed for me like this. I saw his eyes filled with tears but with joy, because he knew that the Lord had saved his elder son, Richard Daniel J.
Oh, how wonderful the Lord is. Though Samson wasted his life, when he repented at the end of his life, He still gave his strength back and gave him that spiritual joy before his death. Though my father had no spiritual joy throughout his life, at the very end, my conversion gave him so much joy. What more can a father ask for; he could die with peace, trusting that I would lead my mother and my brother to Christ. He died without fear, for perfect love casteth out all fear.
When my Father was dying, he could not preach, nor could he sing, but I saw him truly repent with all his heart. He asked forgiveness from all; he begged to be forgiven. Oh! What repentance that was, the greatest sermon my father ever preached, and it was the most melodious song he ever sang. It still rings in my heart, and I pray that it will ring until the end, until the coming of Christ.
Dear friend, it’s enough, you are tired, He can give you a new beginning; go down on your knees wherever you are and cry to Him; that is all I did and that’s all you need to do to be saved in the kingdom of God.
Regards,
Richard Daniel

I love this. Is there any way to purchase the music for this arrangement?
Had this tune in my head all week but couldn't remember the name. Wound up Googling it and then went to CZcams to find a good version. I truly loved your a cappella version the best. Have you thought of making this version with lyrics? Job well done!
