WE BELIEVE; A HYMN OF FAITH, by                    
First Line: We believe in the omnipotent
Last Line: And claim his very own.
Subject(s): Faith; Belief; Creed


We believe in the Omnipotent,
Jehovah, God of Love.
We believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord,
Sent down from Heaven above,
Conceived by Spirit, Virgin born,
God's one Begotten Son;
And in the Spirit, Comforter,
The blessed Three in One.

We believe the Holy Scriptures are
Inspired, God's gift to man,
Inviolate, infallible,
Revealing Heaven's plan.
We believe Christ is the Promised One
The Scriptures did foretell,
Messiah, Saviour of the world
Who doeth all things well.

We believe Christ's miracles of Grace
Done here on earth below.
We believe the supernatural
That science doth not know.
We believe He gave Himself for us
On Cross of Calvary—
The sacrificial Lamb of God—
That sinners might go free.

We believe in Resurrection morn,
The blessed Easter Day,
When Conqueror of Death, He rose
'Mid Heaven's vast array
Through flashing skies, the King of Kings
In majesty sublime;
Ruler of Heaven and of earth
Beyond the reach of Time.

We believe that He will come again
Some day to claim His Bride,
Fulfilling promises He made
While here He did abide.
We believe in the Great Judgment Day
When, seated on His Throne,
He will divide the sheep and goats
And claim His very own.
