The Nicene Creed

The Nicene Creed

$0.00 – $5.00

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: You will find some differences between the printed music and the demo, as the recording was based on an earlier draft of the song.

We believe in one God,
the Father, the almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is,
seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
