    This musical setting of the Nicene Creed was composed at the request of the World Council of Churches to be sung at their 2025 conference, celebrating the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. The verses likely require a cantor, as the music follows the contours of the creed’s text verbatim. The refrain, however, is a simple, repeated, “We believe” for the congregation.

    Note: This text follows the version used by the WCC. At the infamous “filioque clause,” you may choose the alternative, “[Holy Spirit,] who proceeds from the Father and the Son.” You will find some differences between the printed music and the demo, as the recording was based on an earlier draft of the song.
