In All Generations, Our Dwelling Place--Dec. 23, 2017

In all generations, even from Abraham until now,

you, dear God, have been our dwelling place.

What was promised through faith in Christ,

to all imprisoned under the power of sin,

has been given to those who believe.

Make us satisfied with your bounty.
