O God, you have been
our dwelling place
in all generations;
yet do not permit us
to lean on the record
of our ancestors--
you care about how we
live our own lives;
we must lean on you.
Build up our faith,
praying in your Spirit;
keep us in your love,
looking forward to
the mercy of our Lord
Jesus Christ,
that leads to eternal
life.
