Christ has Died! Christ is Risen! Christ will Come Again!

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!

On this we fix our minds as, praying side by side,
we take the bread and wine from Christ the crucified:
Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again!

By this we are upheld when doubt or 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!



1 Corinthians 15:3-5
