1
This is the threefold truth
On which our faith depends;
And with this joyful cry
Worship begins and ends.
Refrain
Christ had died! Christ has risen!
Christ will come again!
2
By this we are upheld
When doubt and grief assail
Our Christian fortitude
And only grace avails
3
This is the threefold truth
Which, if we hold it fast,
Changes the world and us
And brings us home at last.
