I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator 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; died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into Heaven, seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.

thine eyes of mercy toward us,
And after this, our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
