Hymn of the Day — Healer of Our Every Ill With One Voice (WOV) #738

Apostles' Creed

(L) God has made us his people through our Baptism into Christ. Living together in trust and hope, we confess our faith.
(C) I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and was born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living 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.

Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
