The Apostle's Creed

(MEAD HOUSE. 8.7.8.7 D)
1.

I believe in God the Father,
Maker of the heav'n and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, our Savior,
God's own Son, of matchless worth;
by the Holy Ghost conceived,
virgin Mary bore God's Son,
he in whom I have believed:
God Almighty, Three in One.

2.

Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
crucified, enduring hell,
laid within the grave so silent,
as the prophets did foretell.
But the stone-sealed tomb was emptied
on the third day; he arose:
into heaven made his entry,
Mighty Conqueror of his foes.

3.

At God's right hand he is seated,
'til his coming, as he said;
final judgment will be meted
to the living and the dead.
I confess the Holy Spirit
has been sent thro' Christ the Son
to apply salvation's merit;
God the Spirit, Three in One.

4.

I believe the church of Jesus
holy, catholic remains;
we are one thro' all the ages,
the communion of the saints.
I believe sins are forgiven,
that our bodies will be raised,
life with God is never ended.
Amen, let his name be praised!
