“But
you are my witnesses, O Israel!” says the Lord. “You are my servant. You
have been chosen to know me, believe in me, and understand that I alone am God. There is no other God –
there never has been, and there never will be. I, yes, I am the Lord, and there is no other Savior…You
are witnesses that I am the only God.”
Isaiah 43:10-12 (New Living Translation)

Come, We That Love the Lord
Verses 1,2,4
Come, we that love the Lord, and let our joys
be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord, and thus surround the throne.
Let
those refuse to sing who never knew our God;
But children of
the heavenly King may speak their joys abroad.
Then let our songs abound, and every tear be dry;
We’re marching through Emmanuel’s ground, to fairer worlds on high.

The Apostles’ Creed,
Traditional Version
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of
heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried;
The third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven,
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
The
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection
of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
