The book and song both have the title "All God's Critters" The song is known by several names in the wide world,such as All God's creatures and The Choir.In other words it has gone through the "Folk process" and has been adapted by oral transmission,the original version is known but singers have started to change words as the song is passed along. Derrick, the lyrics in the Digital Tradition are exactly the same as the lyrics Bill Staines published in his songbook. We don't always get it exactly right, but we did this time.
