The Church's one foundation

Author: Samuel John Stone (1839-1900) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #739 (2008) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Church unity and ecumenism; Communion of Saints 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 Called forth 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, and shares one holy food, as to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 In toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war she waits the consummation of peace for evermore, till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth has union with God, the Three in one, and mystical 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. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA
