1 One true God we all confess:
Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
Present Helper in distress,
Praised by all the heav'nly host:
God the Father, by whose might
All things are, and move aright.

2 Jesus Christ as Lord we own:
God of God, and Mary's Son,
Who descended from His throne,
And for us Salvation won;
Who Has blood and life hath given
That we might be heirs of heaven.

3 We the Holy Ghost adore—
Going forth from Father, Son,--
Who consoles us evermore,
Lest we be by sin undone.
Praise, O Holy Trinity!
Praise forever be to Thee.
