Yes, Lord: I steadfastly believe
Thou the desired Messias art,
Thee, Prophet, Priest, and King, receive
With joy into my loving heart;
Son of the living God Most-High,
His fulness all resides in Thee,
Yet didst Thou live on earth, and die
To live eternally in me.

The Saviour-God so long foretold.
The Ransomer oi Jacob's race.
Of all mankind to Satan sold
My God, My Saviour, I confess:
Come in the flesh Thou art I know;
Thou wilt fulfil Thine own design.
Destroy the devil's works below,
And fill our souls with life Divine.
