The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel John Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 885 hymnals Topics: Easter 5 Year A 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 '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 blessed, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 4 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. Used With Tune: AURELIA

'Tis the Lord of all creation, who this wondrous path hath trod; he is God from everlasting, and to everlasting God. 2 Who is this - a Man of Sorrows, walking sadly life's hard way; homeless, weary, sighing, weeping over sin and Satan's sway? 'Tis our God, our glorious Saviour, who beyond our mortal sight now for us a place prepareth free from grief and full of light. 3 Who is this - behold him raining drops of blood upon the ground? Who is this - despised, rejected, mocked, insulted, beaten, bound? 'Tis our God, who gifts and graces on his Church now poureth down; all his faithful ones empowering to partake in cross and crown. 4 Who is this that hangeth dying, while the thieves on either side? Nails his hands and feet are tearing, and the spear hath pierced his side. 'Tis the God who ever liveth 'mid the shining ones on high, in the glorious golden city, reigning everlastingly. Scripture: Isaiah 53:3 Used With Tune: EBENEZER (TON-Y-BOTEL)
