What a wonderful hymn

I found on the internet web this lovely hymn sung by the Episcopal bishops during their meeting in New Orleans:

All creatures of the our God, sing praise,
with thankful hearts your voices raise
O sing praises! Alleluia!
O Brother Sun with golden beam,
O Sister Moon with silver gleam!

Dear Mother Earth, who day by day
unfolds our blessings on our way
O sing praises! Alleluia!
The flow'rs and fruit that in you grow,
let them God's glory also show!


Isn't that just such a lovely churchy hymn? I know we've made great strives in the humnology field over the last forty years, but the Episcopalians are setting such a high bar. I only wish we could trade with them and have Katharine Jefferts Schori as our pope.
