The Church's One Foundation
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
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
'Mid toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore
'Til with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest
Yet she on earth had union
With God, the Three-in-One
And mystic, sweet communion
With those whose rest is won
O happy ones and holy
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly
On high may dwell with Thee
Like them, the meek and lowly
On high may dwell with Thee
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
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
'Mid toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore
'Til with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest
Yet she on earth had union
With God, the Three-in-One
And mystic, sweet communion
With those whose rest is won
O happy ones and holy
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly
On high may dwell with Thee
Like them, the meek and lowly
On high may dwell with Thee
