From heav'n 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 ev'ry 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 ev'ry grace endued. 3 Through toil and tribulation And tumult of her war She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blessed, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth has union With the God, the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won. O blessed heav'nly chorus! Lord, save us by your grace That we, like saints before us, May see you face to face. SPANISH - 1 Un solo fundamento Y un sólo un fundador La santa Iglesia tiene En Cristo, su Señor, Haciéndola su esposa, Del cielo descendió, Y por su propia sangre Su libertad compró. 2 Aunque es de muchas razas, Disfruta de unidad: Sólo una fe confiesa En santa caridad; Es uno su bautismo, Un pan de santidad; Por gracia siempre espera Una felicidad. 3 Cercada de tumultos, De guerra y confusión, La paz eterna espera, Serena en su visión; Al fin, ya victoriosa, La iglesia terrenal Recibe por su premio Descanso celestial. 4 Mas ella aquí disfruta Celeste comunión Con Dios y con los santos En paz y perfección. Jesús, cabeza nuestra, Concédenos lugar con los que habitan siempre En tu celeste hogar. Scripture: Psalm 118:22 Used With Tune: AURELIA

Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; learn from Christ to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain view; there the Lord of glory see, made a sacrifice for you, dying on the accursed tree. "It is finished," hear him cry: trust in Christ and learn to die. Used With Tune: REDHEAD No. 76
