"Ich glaube an den Vater" (I believe in the Father) is a Christian hymn with text and music by Markus Pytlik. The song of the genre Neues Geistliches Lied has appeared in the German Protestant and Catholic hymnals and in songbooks.
Markus Pytlik wrote the text of the hymn "Ich glaube an den Vater" and also composed the melody.[1] "Ich glaube an den Vater" was written to take the place of the creed in church services.[1]
