2. We all believe in one true God

1 We all believe in one true God,
Maker of the earth and heaven;
The Father, who to us in love
Hath the right of children given;
He both soul and body feedeth,
All we want He doth provide us;
He through snares and perils leadeth,
Watching that no harm betide us;
He cares for us by day and night,
All things are governed by His might.

2 And we believe in Jesus Christ,
His own Son, our Lord, possessing
An equal Godhead, throne, and might,
Thro' whom comes the Father's blessing;
Conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of Mary, Virgin-mother,
That lost man might life inherit,
Made true man, our Elder Brother,
Was crucified by sinful men,
And raised by God to life again.

3 We in the Holy Ghost believe,
Who sweet grace and comfort giveth,
And with the Father and the Son
In eternal glory liveth;
Who the Christian Church doth even
Keep in unity of spirit;
Sins are truly here forgiven
Through the blest Redeemer's merit;
All flesh shall rise again, and we
Shall live with God eternally.
