about

St. Francis of Assisi (c. 1182-1226) wrote the “Canticle of the Sun” in 1225. Originally in Italian (“Laudato sia Dio mio Signore”), the text was paraphrased by William Henry Draper (1855-1933) and published with the tune “Lasst uns Erfreuen” (from Auserlesen Catholische Geistliche Kirchengesäng, Cologne, 1623) in the Public School Hymn Book (1919). It has subsequently appeared in many other hymnals, with various alterations in the words. I’ve used Draper’s original text but left out the fifth, sixth and seventh verses.
