Question 23. What are these articles [of our catholic and undoubted Christian faith]?

Answer: 

1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. 
2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord; 
3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; 
4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell. 
5. The third day he rose again from the dead.
6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; 
7. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
8. I believe in the Holy Spirit; 
9. I believe a holy catholic church, the communion of saints; 
10. The forgiveness of sins;
11. The resurrection of the body;
12. And the life everlasting.

Sunday's Hymn: When We All Get to Heaven

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, 
Sing His mercy and His grace; 
In the mansions bright and blessed 
He’ll prepare for us a place.

Chorus:
When we all get to heaven, 
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus, 
We’ll sing and shout the victory.

While we walk the pilgrim pathway 
Clouds will overspread the sky; 
But when trav’ling days are over, 
Not a shadow, not a sigh.  

Let us then be true and faithful, 
Trusting, serving ev’ry day; 
Just one glimpse of Him in glory 
Will the toils of life repay.

Onward to the prize before us! 
Soon His beauty we’ll behold; 
Soon the pearly gates will open; 
We shall tread the streets of gold.
