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.
The Church Shall Never Perish.
Her Dear Lord To Defend,
To Guide, Sustain, And Cherish,
Is With Her To The End.
Tho’ There Be Those That Hate Her
And Strive To See Her Fail,
Against Both Foe And Traitor
She Ever Shall Prevail.
Tho’ With A Scornful Wonder
The World Sees Her 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.
‘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.
