Verses:  1   2   3   4   5   6 

 

 1  The faith which once for all was giv'n

    Unto the saints of old,

    Has been committed unto us

    To guard, defend, and hold.

 

And we know whom we have believ褼/p>

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.

 

 2  This good deposit is the mark

    Of God's economy,

    Without it we will miss the aim

    Of His recovery.

 

And we know whom we have believ褼/p>

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.

 

 3  The myst'ry of the common faith,

    A conscience pure requires;

    A holy, separated life

    For us the Lord desires.

 

And we know whom we have believ褼/p>

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.

 

 4  This outline of the healthy words,

    In faith and love we'll hold;

    All different teaching, fruitless talk,

    Reject with spirit bold.

 

And we know whom we have believ褼/p>

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.

 

 5  Oh, healthful teaching, wholesome words:

    The truth of godliness!

    Oh, good deposit, common faith,

    And life of holiness!

 

And we know whom we have believ褼/p>

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.

 

 6  Lord, make us now those faithful men

    Who pass on what we've heard;

    Make us examples of the saints

    In spirit, faith, and word.

 

And we know whom we have believ褼/p>

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.
