- 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 Ghost, / born of the Virgin Mary, / suffered under Pontius Pilate, / was crucified, dead and buried, / He descended into hell. / The third day he rose again from the dead. / He ascended into heaven. / And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty, / From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. / I believe in the Holy Ghost / The Holy catholic Church, the communion of saints / The forgiveness of sins, / The resurrection of the body, / And the life everlasting. Amen / / The greatest pains are greatest pleasures / To those who seek for heavenly treasures. / Live Jesus live and be my life to __or / Love thee. //
