歌词
Verse 1:
Nicaea was in three twenty-five,
Settle on Christ’s divine side,
Constantine’s call, Arian fall,
Creed of Nicaea stood tall.
Verse 2:
Constantinople, three-eighty-one,
Holy Spirit’s role was won,
Added to Creed, Trinity complete,
Heretics faced a great defeat.
Chorus:
Councils, councils, we remember,
Key decisions, dates and render,
In the church’s history,
Guiding faith and unity.
Verse 3:
Ephesus, four thirty-one,
Theotokos for God’s own Son,
Nestorius out, Mary’s shout,
Christ is one, without doubt.
Verse 4:
Chalcedon, four fifty-one,
Two natures in Christ, battle won,
Divine and human, both in one,
Orthodoxy had begun.
Chorus:
Councils, councils, we remember,
Key decisions, dates and render,
In the church’s history,
Guiding faith and unity.
Verse 5:
Constantinople, five fifty-three,
Reaffirmed Chalcedon’s decree,
Nestorian past, put to rest,
Orthodox faith stood the test.
Verse 6:
Third Constantinople, six eighty,
Christ's two wills, kept it steady,
Council of Nice, seven-eighty-seven,
Icons restored, faith was leavened.
Final Chorus:
Councils, councils, through the ages,
Guiding faith and turning pages,
In the church’s history,
Shaping faith for you and me.
