When God had filled the earth with life

And blessed it, to increase,

Then cattle dwelt with creeping things,

And lion with lamb, at peace.

He gave them vast, untrodden lands,

With plants to be their food;

Then God saw all that he had made

And found it very good.

Praise God the Father of all life,

His Son and Spirit blest,

By whom creation lives and moves,

In whom it comes to rest.

Scripture Reading

1 Peter 3:8-9

➡️You should all agree among yourselves and be sympathetic; love the brothers, have compassion and be self-effacing. Never pay back one wrong with another, or an angry word with another one; instead, pay back with a blessing. That is what you are called to do, so that you inherit a blessing yourself.
