We confess the mystery and wonder
   of God made flesh
   and rejoice in our great salvation
   through Jesus Christ our Lord.

With the Father and the Holy Spirit,
   the Son created all things,
   sustains all things,
   and makes all things new.
   Truly God,
   He became truly man,
   two natures in one person.

He was born of the Virgin Mary
   and lived among us.
   Crucified, dead, and buried,
   He rose on the third day,
   ascended to heaven,
   and will come again
   in glory and judgment.

For us,
   He kept the Law,
   atoned for sin,
   and satisfied God’s wrath.
   He took our filthy rags
   and gave us
   His righteous robe.

He is our Prophet, Priest, and King,
   building His church,
   interceding for us,
   and reigning over all things.

Jesus Christ is Lord;
   we praise His holy Name forever.

Amen.
