| The Lord's Prayer Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed
be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Dr. Martin Luther's "Explanation" from his Small Catechism |
| The Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the
Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died and was buried. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church,* the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, and the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen * The ancient text: the holy catholic Church Dr. Martin Luther's "Explanation" from his Small Catechism |
| The Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of
His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very
God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all
things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who
proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son
together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. * The ancient text: one holy catholic and apostolic Church |
| The Athanasian Creed Whoever will be saved shall, above
all else, hold the catholic faith. For as we are compelled by the Christian truth to acknowledge every
person by himself to be both God and Lord, For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man, so God and man is one
Christ; |

| Luther's "Returning Thanks" After eating pray: O, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever. He gives food to all flesh; He gives tot he beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. He delights not in the strength of the horse. He takes not pleasure in the legs of man. The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His mercy. Pray the Lord's Prayer, then the following: We thank You, Lord God, Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
for all Your benefits, who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen |
