Gaither Copyright 1970 by William J. Gaither; CCLI# Confession of Faith The Apostles Creed 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. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He shall come 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. *Meaning universal ; the church in every place and time Gloria Patri Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

5 #3 Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come. --Revelation 4:8 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty; God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be. Holy, holy, holy! Tho the darkness hide Thee, Tho the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see. Only Thou art holy there is none beside Thee, Perfect in pow r, in love, in purity. #304 Behold the Lamb The Lamb was slain from the creation of the world. --Revelation 13:8 Behold the Lamb, behold the Lamb, Slain from the foundation of the world. For sinners crucified, O holy sacrifice, Behold the Lamb of God, behold the Lamb. Crown Him, crown Him, Worthy is the Lamb. Praise Him, Heav n and earth resound. Behold the Lamb, behold the Lamb, Slain from the foundation of the world. For sinners crucified, O holy sacrifice, Behold the Lamb of God, behold the Lamb.
