day no. 16,394 continued... The Apostles' Creed (original, metrical rendering)

Our God and Father
Did conceive
The earth and Heaven
I believe

His one and only 
Begotten 
The Lord, Christ Jesus
God the Son

Who by God’s Spirit
Was conceived
By virgin, Mary
Was received

By Pontius Pilate
Crucified
Under whom suffered,
Bled, and died

His body buried
In a grave
His soul in Hades
For three days

But then He rose
From the dead
And then to Heaven
Did ascend 

To God the Father’s
Right hand side
Where He now sitteth
And abides

Until the time when
He shall come
To judge the quickened 
And the slow

I believe in God
The Spirit,
And one church: holy,
catholic,

Saints of God in one
Communion,
Sins of saints in One
Forgiven,

And resurrected
Bodied men,
And life eternal,
And amen.

— The Apostles' Creed
Postmillitant original rendering
