Credo in unum Deum,

Patrem omnipotentem,

factorem Coeli et terrae,

visibilium omnium et invisibilium.

Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum,

Filium Dei unigenitum.

Et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula.

Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine,

Deum verum de Deo vero.

Genitum, non factum,

consubstantialem Patri:

per Quem omnia facta sunt.

Qui propter nos homines,

et propter nostram salutem

descendit de coelis.

Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto

ex Maria Virgine:

(kneel or bow)

ET HOMO FACTUS EST.

Crucifixus etiam pro nobis;

sub Pontio Pilato

passus, et sepultus est.

Et resurrexit tertia die,

secundum Scripturas.

Et ascendit in coelum:

sedet ad dexteram Patris.

Et iterum venturus est cum gloria

judicare vivos et mortuos:

cujus regni non erit finis.

Et in Spiritum Sanctum,

Dominum et vivificantem:

Qui ex Patre Filioque procedit.

Qui cum Patre, et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur:


Qui locutus est per Prophetas.

Et unam, sanctam,Catholicam et Apostolicam Ecclesiam.

Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum.

Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum.

Et vitam ventura saeculi.

I Believe (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 only begotten Son of God,

begotten of His Father before all worlds,

God of God, Light of Light,

very God of very God,

begotten, not made,

being of one substance with the Father;

by Whom all things were made;

Who for us men

and for our salvation

came down from heaven,

and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost

of the Virgin Mary,

(kneel or bow)

AND WAS MADE MAN. 

and was crucified also for us

under Pontius Pilate;

He suffered and was buried;

and the third day He rose again

according to the Scriptures,

and ascended into heaven,

and sitteth on the right hand of the Father;

and He shall come again, with glory,

to judge both the quick and the dead;

Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Ghost

the Lord, and Giver of Life,

Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son;

Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified;

Who spake by the Prophets.

And in one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church;

I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;

and I look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come.


Amen

COME, HOLY GHOST

Come, Holy Ghost,

send down those beams,

which sweetly flow in silent streams
from Thy bright throne above

O come, Thou Father of the poor;

O come, Thou source of all our store,

come, fill our hearts with love.

fill with Thy light the inmost heart

of those who hope in Thee.


Without Thy Godhead nothing can,

have any price or worth in man,

nothing can harmless be.


Lord, wash our sinful stains away,

refresh from heaven our barren clay,

our wounds and bruises heal.


To Thy sweet yoke our stiff necks bow,

warm with Thy fire our hearts of snow,

our wandering feet recall.


Grant to Thy faithful, dearest Lord,

whose only hope is Thy sure word,

the sevenfold gifts of grace.


Grant us in life Thy grace that we,

in peace may die and ever be,

in joy before Thy face.
