Verse 1: The faith which once for all was giv'n Unto the saints of old, Has been committed unto us To guard, defend, and hold. Verse 2: This good deposit is the mark Of God's economy, Without it we will miss the aim Of His recovery. Verse 3: The myst'ry of the common faith, A conscience pure requires; A holy, separated life For us the Lord desires. Verse 4: This outline of the healthy words, In faith and love we'll hold; All different teaching, fruitless talk, Reject with spirit bold. Verse 5: Oh, healthful teaching, wholesome words: The truth of godliness! Oh, good deposit, common faith, And life of holiness! Verse 6: Lord, make us now those faithful men Who pass on what we've heard; Make us examples of the saints In spirit, faith, and word.
