Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
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.
REFRAIN 1
I believe, I believe,
O firmly I believe that it's true.
VERSE 2
Simply to His grace and wholly
Light and life and strength belong,
And I love supremly, soley,
Him the holy, Him the strong.
And I hold in veneration,
or the love of Him alone,
Holy Church as His creation,
And her teachings as His own.
REFRAIN 2
I believe, I believe,
O firmly I believe
I believe, I believe,
O firmly I believe that it's true.
VERSE 3
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
which bind me here.
REFRAIN 3
I believe, I believe, O firmly I believe
I believe I believe O firmly I believe, I believe,
I believe, O firmly I believe,
I believe lieve, I believe, O firmly I believe that it's true.
VERSE 4
Adoration aye be given,
with and through the angelic host,
To the God of Earth and Heaven,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
OUTRO
I believe, I believe,
O firmly I believe, I believe,
I believe,
O firmly I believe, I believe.
