The church's one foundation

Author: S. J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 891 hymnals Topics: Proper 5 Year C 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 opprest, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distrest; 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 for evermore; till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth hath 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. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:10-13 Used With Tune: AURELIA

It soothes the sorrows, heals the wounds, and drives away all fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; 'tis manna to the hungry soul, and to the weary, rest. 3 Dear Name! the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place, my never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace. 4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, my Prophet, Priest, and King, my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, accept the praise I bring. 5 The effort of my heart is weak, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see you whom I seek, I'll praise you as I ought.

Mine eyes with joy and wonder see what forms of love he bears for me. *3 Great Prophet of my God, my tongue would bless thy name; by thee the joyful news of our salvation came: the joyful news of sins forgiven, of hell subdued and peace with heaven. *4 Jesus my great High-Priest offered his blood and died; my guilty conscience seeks no sacrifice beside: his powerful blood did once atone, and now it pleads before the throne. 5 My dear almighty Lord, my Conqueror and my King, thy sceptre and thy sword, thy reign of grace, I sing; thine is the power: behold I sit in willing bonds before thy feet. 6 Now let my soul arise, and tread the tempter down; my Captain leads me forth to conquest and a crown. A feeble saint shall win the day, though death and hell obstruct the way. 7 Should all the hosts of death, and powers of hell unknown, put their most dreadful forms of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays superior power, and guardian grace.
