Hymn 2

Melody
  1. In God, our heav’nly Father, I believe –
    almighty Ruler, all-victorious,
    Creator of both heav’n and earth,
    whose holy name is great and glorious.
    And I believe in Christ our Lord –
    Christ Jesus, the incarnate Word,
    God’s only Son, our faithful Saviour,
    sent to redeem a world forlorn;
    who was conceived by God the Spirit
    and of the virgin Mary born.

  2. Our LORD was under Pilate crucified;
    the burden of God’s wrath he carried.
    Rejected and despised by men,
    he died for us, and then was buried,
    descending into death’s domain.
    But he the third day rose again;
    he to his heav’nly throne ascended,
    at God’s right hand, and he, our Head,
    shall come again with pow’r and glory
    to judge the living and the dead.

  3. In God the Holy Spirit I believe –
    through whom we are a new creation.
    And I believe a cath’lic church,
    one holy Christian congregation;
    the true communion of all those
    whom God once as his people chose;
    the full forgiveness of transgressions,
    release from sin and mortal strife;
    the resurrection of the body,
    and glorious, everlasting life.
