Luther Hymn: We All Believe in One True God

LSB #954

We all believe in one true God, who created earth and heaven, the Father, who to us in love has the right of children given. He in soul and body feeds us; All we need His hand provides us; through all snares and perils leads us, watching that no harm betide us. He cares for us by day and night; all things are governed by His might.

We all believe in Jesus Christ, His own Son, our Lord, possesing an equal Godhead, throne, and might, source of every grace and blessing; born of Mary, virgin mother, by the power of the Spirit, Word made flesh, our elder brother; that the lost might life inherit, was crucified for all our sin and raised by God to life again.

We all confess the Holy Ghost, who, in highest heaven dwelling with God the Father and the Son, comforts us beyond all telling; who the Church, His own creation, keeps in unity of spirit. Here forgiveness and salvation daily come through Jesus' merit. All flesh shall rise, and we shall be in bliss with God eternally. Amen.

Hi, thank you for sharing this! Do you know where I can find the piano sheet for this hymn?

I always wanted to know, what the Bach choral preludes actually are based on. Thanks for recording and uploading!

[IggyAntiochus]

Found an example, but youtube isn't letting me leave a comment.

Most likely the song was sung in unison with organ accompaniment. That said, the melody is more chant-like than your standard hymn - maybe even based on a plainsong chant - so an a capella setting is quite appropriate.

Anyone or anything that teaches that Jesus is not the Son of God, is not true and has not the righteousness of God. God is most worthy and of greatest importance. God is Father, Son, and Spirit. You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

@TsuNami994 Jesus is fully God and fully man. He was incarnated - sent by His Father from heaven to accomplish his plan to save His believers from sin and hell. He is not just a messenger of God or just a prophet. He is the one and only Son of God, the exact image of God Himself. Believe in Him with all your heart, and follow Him. Through Jesus Christ, you will inherit eternal life and the Father's acceptance.

[MrJonathanSwift]

Nice, but I think it would sound better as a choir with organ or other musical instruments.

[gogmorgoaway]

The Father has begotten the Son from eternity; the Son is begotten of the Father from eternity; the Holy Ghost from eternity proceeds from the Father and the Son, -- To the Father especially is ascribed the work of Creation, to the Son, the work of Redemption; to the Holy Ghost, the work of Sanctification."

[gogmorgoaway]

I should point out firstly that I do not intend to sway you from your beliefs, however, should that situation arise, I can't say I'll be displeased.

Taken from the explanation of Dr. Martin Luther's Small Catechism,

"The only true God is the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (sometimes called the Holy Spirit). three distinct Persons in one divine Being, or Essence. (The Holy Trinity)
