The Church's One Foundation
Author: Rev. Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #390 (1934) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word;
From heaven He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.
2 Elect from every nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation,
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed,
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore,
Till with the vision glorious,
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest. Topics: The Church on Earth; The Church in Heaven; Death of Christ, Burial, and Descent Into Hell; Divine Election; Faith; Post-Communion; Redemption; Regeneration; Watchfulness Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

with those whose rest is won;

Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee.

is Jesus Christ, our Lord;
we are a new creation
by water and the Word.
From heav’n he came and taught us
what perfect love can be;
through life and death he sought us,
and rose to set us free.
2 The church in ev’ry nation
is one through all the earth;
our charter of salvation,
one God, one faith, one birth;
one name together blessing,
one holy food we share,
to one hope ever pressing,
at one in work and prayer.
3 Still, schisms, tribulation,
and hatred fuel our war;
we wait the consummation
of peace forevermore.
The saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 Yet we on earth have union
with God, the Three in One,
and mystic, sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
Oh, happy ones and holy!
God, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
may live eternally. Topics: Body of Christ; Confessing Faith; Unity; Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Scripture: Psalm 126 Tune Title: AURELIA
