We believe in Jesus risen, heaven's King to rule and reign, to the Father's side ascended till as judge he comes again. 3 We believe in God the Spirit; in one Church, below, above: saints of God in one communion, one in holiness and love. So by faith, our sins forgiven, Christ our Saviour, Lord and friend, we shall rise with him in glory to the life that knows no end. Scripture: Luke 2:31-32 Used With Tune: LUX EOI
