| 1 | Christ the Son of God and His redemptive deed |
| | Are the saving faith which is our only creed. |
| | All the other doctrines do not faith comprise; |
| | Christ, His work and person, only qualifies. |
| 2 | All the other teachings used improperly |
| | Are the “winds of doctrine,” spoiling unity: |
| | Blowing saints away from Christ who is the Head, |
| | Building not the Body, tearing down instead. |
| 3 | Thus we must relinquish doctrines of all kinds, |
| | Only keep the faith that oneness we may find. |
| | In the Lord the Spirit we are one indeed; |
| | Just to keep this oneness is our only need. |
| 4 | Truth we must be holding, which is Christ Himself, |
| | That we be delivered from the sects of self, |
| | That in all things growing into Christ the Head, |
| | Built will be the Body and to fulness led. |
| 5 | To the “unity of faith” we must attain, |
| | All the “winds of doctrine” evermore disdain; |
| | Holding Christ the Spirit, our reality, |
| | For the Body’s growing in its unity. |
