This Is The Threefold Truth / This Is The Threefold Truth On Which Our Faith Depends [#ThisIsTheThreefoldTruth #OnWhichOurFaithDepends]
Song written by:
Original in English: Fred Pratt Green
1
This is the threefold truth
On which our faith depends
And with this joyful cry
Worship begins and ends
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
2
On this we fix our minds
As kneeling side by side
We take the bread and wine
From him the Crucified
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
3
By this we are upheld
When doubt and grief assails
Our Christian fortitude
And only grace avails
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
4
This is the threefold truth
which if we hold it fast
changes the world and us
and brings us home at last
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
1
This is the threefold truth
On which our faith depends
And with this joyful cry
Worship begins and ends
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
2
Made sacred by long use
New-minted for our time
Our liturgies sum up
The hope we have in him
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
3
On this we fix our minds
As kneeling side by side
We take the bread and wine
From him the Crucified
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
4
By this we are upheld
When doubt and grief assails
Our Christian fortitude
And only grace avails
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
5
This is the threefold truth
which if we hold it fast
changes the world and us
and brings us home at last
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
