Hymns about St Francis of Assisi

A selection of hymns and songs, based on themes from the life and teachings of  St Francis of Assisi, whose feast falls on 4 October.

Most are free-to-use (ie public domain or copyright-free), meaning that the words can be copied and sung to at least one tune with no concerns about copyright or performance licensing - sometimes in a limited setting.  Many of these hymns are old / traditional - but where possible a variety of styles and genres are included.

A small selection of hymns that are still copyright may also be included, if they are particularly appropriate.


Themes

Nature, creation, ecology, animals, peace, poverty, justice, simplicity.
