Suffered under Pontius Pilate, And (I believe) in His Suffering,



{98}



Was crucified, dead, and

buried:

He descended into hell;



The Third day he rose again And in His Rising from the

from the dead; dead,



He ascended into heaven, and And in His Ascension in the

flesh,

Sitteth on the right hand of

God the Father Almighty;

From thence he shall come to And in His Coming from

judge the quick and the heaven that he may execute

dead. just judgment on all.



I believe in the Holy Ghost; And in the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Catholic Church;

The Communion of Saints;

The Forgiveness of Sins;



The Resurrection of the Body, And that Christ shall come

from heaven to raise up all

flesh . . . and to adjudge the

impious and unjust . . . to

Eternal fire and to give to

the just and holy immortality

And the life everlasting. and eternal life.





The Articles of the Creed rest upon the proper understanding of what

God has revealed to us of Himself. The Bible is the record of His

Revelation. The references in Chapter xi. are amongst the vast number

of such passages which might be adduced.



The days mentioned in the rubric as days on which the Confession of

our Christian Faith, commonly {99} called The Creed of Saint

Athanasius, is to be sung or said at Morning Prayer, instead of the

Apostles' Creed, are 13. Four of these days are in the Easter and

Ascension groups of days; when the doctrine of our Lord's Divine and

Human Natures is most taught. The other nine days are chosen so as to

fall, one in each of the nine months, between June and February. So

the Praise Service ends, with the Highest Thoughts of God and His Being.
