¶ Or, the following Declaration of Faith-may be said or sung by the Minister and people, standing,-formed from the Creeds commonly called The Apostles' Creed, and The Nicene Creed.

I

BELIEVE in one God, the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; And of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the beloved Son of God; Who was crucified, dead and buried; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven; And sitteth on the right hand of the Father; And he will be the judge of quick and dead.

I believe that the Holy Spirit, without measure, was given to Jesus Christ; And inspired his Apostles; And enlightens and sanctifies all his people.

I believe that all men, who truly confess that Jesus is the Son of God, are members of Christ's Catholic Church.

And I believe in the Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of Sins; The Resurrection of the Dead; And the life everlasting. Amen.
