“Truly we believe in One God..”
Final Entreatment
INTRODUCTION TO THE CREED.
We honour you, Mother of True Light and glorify
you, O’ Holy Virgin Mother of God, for you gave
birth to the Saviour of the World. He came and
saved our souls. Glory to You, our Master and
King Jesus Christ, Pride of the Apostles, Crown
of the Martyrs, Joy of the righteous, Steadiness
of the churches, Remission of sins. We preach
the Holy Trinity, the One Divinity, whom we
worship and honour. Lord have mercy, Lord have
mercy, Lord bless us. Amen.
Final Entreatment
THE CREED
Truly we believe in One God, the Almighty God the
Father, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible
and invisible.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ the only begotten
Son of God, born of the Father before all ages; light out
of light, true God out of true God, begotten not made;
coessential with the Father, through whom all things
came into being. He descended from heaven for us and
for our salvation, and was incarnated from the Holy Spirit
and of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
He was crucified for us at the time of Pontius Pilate. He
suffered and was buried; arose from the dead on the third
day in accordance with the Scriptures;
Final Entreatment
He ascended to the heavens and sat at the right hand of
the Father; He shall also come in His glory to
judge the living and the dead; of whose kingdom there will
be no end.
Truly we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Life- giving Lord, who
proceeds from the Father, we worship and glorify Him
together with the Father and the Son, who spoke in the
prophets. And in one, holy, universal and Apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
And we look for the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts. Heaven and earth
are full of Your glory and honour. God the Father
Almighty, have mercy upon us.
O’ Holy Trinity have mercy upon us. O’ Lord, God of
hosts, be with us, for we have no other supporter in our
tribulations and adversities but You. O’ God, absolve,
remit and forgive us our sins which we have done
willingly and unwillingly, and those which we committed
knowingly and unknow- ingly, the hidden and the
visible.
O’ Lord forgive us for the sake of Your Holy Name that
is called upon us, and according to Your mercy and not
to our sins.
“Our Father, who art in heaven ...”
