And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy

Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into the place of departed spirits; The third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the quick and dead.

evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
