203. This Is the Threefold Truth

This is the threefold truth On which our faith depends; And with this joyful cry Worship begins and ends; Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again! By this we are upheld When doubt and grief assails Our Christian fortitude, And only grace avails. Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again! This is the threefold truth Which, if we hold it fast, Changes the world and us And brings us home at last. Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again!
