I believe in God the Father,
Maker of heav’n and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, our Savior,
God’s own Son, of matchless worth;
By the Spirit was conceived
Of the virgin Mary born,
He in whom I have believed;
God Almighty three in one.
Suffered under Pontious Pilate,
Crucified, for me he died.
Laid within the grave so silent,
Gates of hell he opened wide;
For the stone-sealed tomb was empty;
On the third day he arose;
Into heaven made his entry;
Mighty conquer’r of his foes.
At God’s right hand he is seated,
Till his coming, as he said;
Final judgement will be meted
To the living and the dead;
I confess the Holy Spirit,
Who was sent through Christ the son
To apply salvations merit;
God, the Spirit Three in One.
I believe the church of Jesus,
Universal e’er remains;
We are one through all the ages
In communion of the saints.
I believe sins are forgiven,
That our bodies will be raised
To eternal life in glory,
Ever let his name be praised.
