 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.

 

And we know whom we have believ�d

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.

 

 2 

This good deposit is the mark

Of God's economy,

Without it we will miss the aim

Of His recovery.

 

And we know whom we have believ�d

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.

 

 3 

The myst'ry of the common faith,

A conscience pure requires;

A holy, separated life

For us the Lord desires.

 

And we know whom we have believ�d

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.

 

 4 

This outline of the healthy words,

In faith and love we'll hold;

All different teaching, fruitless talk,

Reject with spirit bold.

 

And we know whom we have believ�d

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.

 

 5 

Oh, healthful teaching, wholesome words:

The truth of godliness!

Oh, good deposit, common faith,

And life of holiness!

 

And we know whom we have believ�d

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.

 

 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.

 

And we know whom we have believ�d

And are persuaded that He is able

To guard, through the Holy Spirit,

Our deposit to that day.
