Ballad of the Nicene Creed - Tom Lynch
Tune of “Rock Island Line”
chorus
Oh, the Nicene Creed is a mighty good creed
Oh, The Nicene Creed is the creed to believe
Oh, the Nicene Creed is a mighty good creed
if you want the truth, the truth to read
just take a look, at the Nicene Creed
Along about 325 A.D.
Constantine made his decree
Bishops went up to Nicaea town
Wearing priestly garb and gown
Hail to Saint Athanasius
In the Incarnation he did trust
Word was ?esh and dwelt with us
according to Saint Athanasius
Credo means I do believe
That Jesus died on Calvary
That He rose again for you and me
It's all part of history
Son of God took on mortal ?esh
And died upon a cross for us
Father Son and Holy Ghost
Eternal triune almighty upmost
Father, Son, Spirit one and three
One God is the Trinity
Spirit proceeds from Father and Son
Trinity is the three in one
