7183. 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 forever proceeds;
Who upholds and comforts us
in all trials, fears and needs.
Blessed and Holy Trinity,
praise forever be to Thee!
