HYMN

Firmly I believe and truly

God is Three, and God is One;

And I next acknowledge duly

Manhood taken by the Son.

And I trust and hope most fully

In that Manhood crucified;

And each thought and deed unruly

Do to death, as He has died.

Simply to His grace and wholly

Light and life and strength belong,

And I love supremely, solely,

Him the holy, Him the strong.

And I take with joy whatever

Now besets me, pain or fear,

And with a strong will I sever

All the ties which bind me here.

[Adoration aye be given,

With and through the angelic host,

To the God of earth and Heaven,

Father, Son and Holy Ghost.]
