The Churchs One Foundation
The Churchs One Foundation
The Churchs one foundationIs Jesus Christ her
Lord,She is His new creationBy water and the
Word.From heaven He came and sought herTo be
His holy brideWith His own blood He bought
herAnd for her life He died. She is from every
nation,Yet one oer all the earthHer charter
of salvation,One Lord, one faith, one birthOne
holy Name she blesses,Partakes one holy
food,And to one hope she presses,With every
grace endued. The Church shall never perish!Her
dear Lord to defend,To guide, sustain, and
cherish,Is with her to the endThough there be
those who hate her,And false sons in her
pale,Against both foe or traitorShe ever shall
prevail.  
Though with a scornful wonderMen see her sore
oppressed,By schisms rent asunder,By heresies
distressedYet saints their watch are
keeping,Their cry goes up, How long?And soon
the night of weepingShall be the morn of song!
Mid toil and tribulation,And tumult of her
war,She waits the consummationOf peace
forevermoreTill, with the vision glorious,Her
longing eyes are blest,And the great Church
victoriousShall be the Church at rest. Yet she
on earth hath unionWith God the Three in
One,And mystic sweet communionWith those whose
rest is won,With all her sons and daughtersWho,
by the Masters handLed through the deathly
waters,Repose in Eden land.
O happy ones and holy!Lord, give us grace that
weLike them, the meek and lowly,On high may
dwell with TheeThere, past the border
mountains,Where in sweet vales the BrideWith
Thee by living fountainsForever shall abide!
