212. We All Believe in One True God, Father

1 We all believe in one true God,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Ever-present help in need,
Praised by all the heav'nly host;
All he made his love enfolds,
All creation he upholds.

2 We all 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 all misery.

3 We all confess the Holy Ghost,
Who from both in truth proceeds,
Who sustains and comforts us
In all trials, fears, and needs.
Blest and holy Trinity,
Praise forever yours shall be.
