Apostle’s Creed

We believe in God, the FatherMaker of heaven and earth,

and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord

Who was conceived by the Spirit,born of the virgin,

suffered and was crucified,Till he was dead, and entombed;

We believe in God, the FatherMaker of heaven and earth,

and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord

He descended into death.The third day He arose again

He ascended into heaven,And sitteth now...judge living and dead

We believe in God, the FatherMaker of heaven and earth,

and in Jesus Christ,His only Son, our Lord

We believe in God the FatherHis only Son, our Lord

We believe in the Holy Ghost;We believe in the holy church;the communion of the saints;

the forgiveness of sin;the resurrection of the body

and in life everlasting.

We believe in God, the FatherMaker of heaven and earth,

and in Jesus Christ,His only Son, our Lord

Amen

He Will Hold Me Fast

Words vv. 1-2: Ada Habershon (1861-1918), Public Domain; Words v. 3 & Music: Matt Merker © 2013 (CCLI # 444153)

When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast;

When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast.

I could never keep my hold Through life’s fearful path;For my love is often cold;

He must hold me fast.

He will hold me fast,He will hold me fast;

For my Savior loves me so,He will hold me fast.

Those He saves are His delight,Christ will hold me fast;

Precious in his holy sight,He will hold me fast.

He’ll not let my soul be lost;His promises shall last;

Bought by Him at such a cost,He will hold me fast.

For my life He bled and died,Christ will hold me fast;

Justice has been satisfied;He will hold me fast.

Raised with Him to endless life,He will hold me fast

‘Till our faith is turned to sight,When He comes at last!
