The idea of music and heavenly bodies is not new. In fact, when God revealed Himself to Job, He asked: “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? . . . When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” (Job 38:4,7). We are told that at the creation of our marvelous universe, songs of praise and shouts of joy resounded to God’s glory. A wonderful hymn by St. Francis of Assisi captures the awe and worship we feel when beholding the radiant sun by day or the star-studded sky at night. 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! “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork” (Ps. 19:1). Let’s praise the One who made such beauty for us to enjoy! Hymn by St. Francis of Assisi, translated by William H. Draper. © 1968 Singspiration The beauty of creation gives us reasons to sing God’s praise.
