I BELIEVE in ONE GOD. by Enoch Clement — Lyrics
About I BELIEVE in ONE GOD.
When we sing the Creed, we are doing more than just reciting our beliefs; we are uniting our voices in the ancient faith of the Church. Enoch Clement’s setting of "I Believe in One God" breaks the Nicene Creed into a clear, manageable structure for choirs. By using a recurring chorus that anchors the congregation, the piece allows the choir to carry the heavier narrative verses—from Christ’s incarnation and passion to the procession of the Holy Spirit—without losing the prayerful momentum of the Mass.
The solfa notation is laid out thoughtfully, guiding the singers through the extensive text with natural phrasing. Singing the Creed can sometimes feel like a marathon for a choir, but this arrangement paces the words beautifully. The verses flow with a steady, storytelling rhythm, building up to the final, triumphant "Amen" as we look forward to the resurrection of the dead.
As an added resource, this sheet includes a gentle, reassuring setting for the Prayer of the Faithful by Omachi Michael, titled "Jesus, I Know You Are Here." It is a simple, earnest plea for mercy and love, perfect for grounding the congregation's intercessions. Having both the Creed and a prayer response on hand makes this a highly practical score for any choir loft preparing for Sunday liturgy.
