203. This Is the Threefold Truth

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!

By this we are upheldWhen doubt and grief assail
Our Christian fortitude
And only grace avails

Refrain

Christ had died!Christ has risen!
Christ will come again!

This is the threefold truth
Which, if we hold it fast,
Changes the world and us
And brings us home at last.

Refrain

Christ had died!Christ has risen!
Christ will come again!
