This Is the Threefold Truth

Verse 1

This is the threefold truth

On which our faith depends;

And with this joyful cry

Worship begins and ends.

Verse 2

By this we are upheld

When doubt and grief assail

Our Christian fortitude

And only grace avails

Refrain

Christ had died! Christ has risen! Christ will come again!

Verse 3

This is the threefold truth

Which, if we hold it fast,

Changes the world and us

And brings us home at last.

Refrain

Christ had died! Christ has risen! Christ will come again!
