Hymns of the Lutheran Church

71 We all believe in one true God

1 We all believe in one true God, Maker of the earth and heaven; The Father, who to us in love Hath the right of children given; He both soul and body feedeth, All we want He doth provide us; He through snares and perils leadeth, Watching that no harm betide us; He cares for us by day and night, All things are governed by His might. 2 And we believe in Jesus Christ, His own Son, our Lord, possessing An equal Godhead, throne, and might, Through whom comes the Father's blessing; Of the Holy Ghost conceived, Born of Mary, virgin-mother, That lost man might life inherit, Made true man, our Elder Brother; Was crucified for sinful men, And raised by God to life again. 3 Also the Holy Ghost we own, Who sweet grace and comfort giveth, And with the Father and the Son In eternal glory liveth; Who the Christian Church doth even Keep in unity of spirit; Sins are truly here forgiven Through the blest Redeemer's merit. All flesh shall rise again, and we Shall live with God eternally.
