We All Believe in One True God

lyricist: Martin Luther, 1524
Composer: Manuskript Gesangbuch, 1748

We all be­lieve in one true God

Who cre­at­ed earth and Heav­en

The Fa­ther

who to us in love

Hath the right of child­ren giv­en.

He both soul and body feed­eth

All we need He doth pro­vide us;

He thro’ snares and per­ils lead­eth

Watching that no harm be­tide us.

He car­eth for us day and night

All things are gov­erned by His might.

We all be­lieve in Je­sus Christ

His own Son

our Lord

pos­sess­ing

An eq­ual God­head

throne

and might

Source of ev­ery grace and bless­ing.

Born of Ma­ry

vir­gin mo­ther

By the pow­er of the Spir­it

Made true man

our el­der bro­ther

That the lost might life in­her­it.

Was cru­ci­fied for sin­ful men

And raised by God to life again.

We all con­fess the Ho­ly Ghost

Who sweet grace and com­fort giv­eth

And with the Fa­ther and the Son

In eter­nal glo­ry liv­eth;

Who the Church

His own cre­ation

Keeps in uni­ty of spir­it.

Here for­giv­eness and sal­va­tion

Daily come thro’ Je­sus’ mer­it.

All flesh shall rise

and we shall be

In bliss with God eter­nal­ly.
