We Believe in One True God

1.	We believe in one true God, 
	Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
	ever present help in need, 
	praised by all the heavenly host;
	by whose mighty power alone 
	all is made and wrought and done.

2.	We believe in Jesus Christ, 
	Son of God and Mary's Son, 
	who descended from his throne 
	and for us salvation won; 
	by whose cross and death are we 
	rescued from sin's misery.

3.	We confess the Holy Ghost, 
	who from both fore'er proceeds; 
	who upholds and comforts us 
	in all trials, fears, and needs.  
	Blest and Holy Trinity, 
	praise forever be to thee!
