a6. We all believe in One true God

We all believe in One true God,
Maker of the earth and heaven;
The Father, who to us in love
Hath the claim of children given.
He in soul and body feeds us,
All we want His hand provides us;
Thro' all snares and perils leads us,
Watches that no harm betides us;
He cares for us,
Cares for us by day and night,
All things are govern'd by His might.

And we believe in Jesus Christ,
His Only Son, our Lord, possessing
An equal Godhead, throne and might,
Through whom descends the Father's blessing;
Conceivèd of the Holy Spirit,
Born of Mary, virgin mother;
That lost man might inherit
Made true man, our Elder Brother,
Was crucified bor sinful men,
And raised by God to life again.

And we confess the Holy Ghost,
Who from Son and Father floweth,
The Comforter of fearful hearts,
Who all precious gifts bestoweth;
In whome all the Church hath union,
Who maintains the Saints' Communion;
We believe our sins forgiven,
And that life with God in heaven,
When we are raised again, shall be
Our portion in eternity.
