English text

1  Firmly I believe and truly God is Three, and God is One; And I next acknowledge duly Manhood taken by the Son. 2  And I trust and hope most fully In that manhood crucified; And each thought and deed unruly Do to death, as He has died.

3  Simply to His grace and wholly Light and life and strength belong, And I love supremely, solely, Him the holy, Him the strong. 4  And I hold in veneration, For the love of Him alone, Holy Church as His creation, And her teachings are His own.

5  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. 6  Adoration aye be given, With and through the angelic host, To the God of earth and Heaven, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
