Make no mistake about this, my dear brothers: all that is good, all that is perfect, is
given us from above; it comes down from the Father of all light; with him there is no such thing as alteration, no shadow caused by change. By his own choice
he gave birth to us by the message of the truth so that we should be a sort of
firstfruits of all his creation. |

Give thanks to the Lord of lords,* for his mercy endures for ever.
Who by wisdom made the heavens,* for his mercy endures for ever;
Who spread out the earth upon the waters,* for his mercy endures for ever;
Who created great lights,* for his mercy endures for ever;
The sun to rule the day,* for his mercy endures for ever;
The moon and the stars to govern the night,* for his mercy endures for ever. |
