        1. We All 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 all belive in Jesus Christ,

        Son of God and Mary's Son,

        Who descended from His thrones

        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 fore'er proceeds;

        Who uphold and comforts us

        In all trials, fears,and needs.

        Blest and holy Trinity,

        Praise forever be to Thee!
