O God be gracious and bless us
And let your face shed its light upon us.
So will your ways be known upon earth
and all nations learn your saving help.

When the appointed time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born a subject of the Law, to redeem the subjects of the law and to enable us to be adopted as sons. The proof that you are sons is that God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts: the Spirit that cries, "Abba, Father," and it is this that makes you a son, you are not a slave any more, and if God has made you son then he has made you heir. [Galatians 4:4-7]
