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 hold in ve­ne­ra­tion,
For the love of Him alone,
Holy Church as His cre­ation,
And her teach­ings are His own.

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.
