Tune: Stuttgart
('Earth has many a noble city')
1 Peter 3 v.10-12
*********
They that will love life, see good days
Let them refrain tongue always
From evil, and lips no guile speak
No deceit, but humble, meek
Let them turn away from evil
And do good, on the Lord call
Let them seek peace, and it pursue
Blessed be peacemakers, 'tis true
For the eyes of the Lord they be
O'er the righteous, He does see
Them, and His ears are open to
Hear their prayers, praises anew
But the face of the Lord against
They that do evil, they sense
Of His displeasure, Lord, may we
Seek you will and ways humbly

Thanks Johnny. I expect there are Christian sites about too. I don't know names of them offhand.
Look out for Fido - he might bark furiously at ya, but he won't be 'preachy'! (ooh lol).
Thank you for the reply guinea pig dude.
I do still have scars on my arse from Fido last year!
