Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 1991 #797 (1991) Meter: 6.6.6.6.12 Lyrics: 1 This is the threefold truth
on which our faith depends;
And with this joyful cry
Worship begins and ends:
Refrain:
Christ has died!
Christ is risen!
Christ will come again!
2 Made sacred by long use,
New-minted for our time,
Our liturgies sum up
The hope we have in him: [Refrain]
3 On this we fix our minds
As, kneeling side by side,
We take the bread and wine
From him, the Crucified: [Refrain]
4 By this we are upheld
When doubt and grief assails
Our Christian fortitude,
And only grace avails: [Refrain]
5 This is the threefold truth
Which, if we hold it fast,
Changes the world and us
And brings us home at last. [Refrain] Topics: Assurance; Beginning of Service; Celebration, Jubilation; Easter Season; End of Service; Faith; Holy Communion; Jesus Christ; Justification; Worship Languages: English Tune Title: THREEFOLD TRUTH
