We All Believe in One True God

We all believe in one True God,
Maker of heav'n and earth;
In Jesus Christ, His only Son,
Our Lord of matchless worth.

Who by the Spirit was conceived,
Born of the Virgin's womb;
Miraculous, mysterious,
To our lost world did come.

He suffered under Pilate's hand,
And on a cross He died;
His body placed within a tomb,
Where three days He must lie.

But death and hell could not contain
Our Lord, the mighty Son;
He rose triumphant from the grave,
O'er death the vict'ry won.

Then into heav'n ascending high,
He reigns at God's right hand;
And from His throne He'll come again,
As Judge o'er ev'ry land.

The Holy Spirit, we believe,
And in one, holy Church;
The blest communion of the saints,
From ev'ry land on earth.

And in the Gospel, we believe,
Sin's remedy in Christ;
The Resurrection of the dead,
And everlasting life.

Now we confess and we adore
The Father and the Son,
The Holy Spirit, all divine;
The Everliving One.
