The Church's one foundation

Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #78 (1913) Topics: 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 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 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. 4 '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. 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 seek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee! Tune Title: [The Church's one foundation]

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: B. S. Ingemann Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #86 (1913) Topics: Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us, through the darkness, Gleams and burns the guiding light. Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening all the path we tread: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain that lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon, shall come the great awaking, Soon the rending of the tomb, Then the scattering of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom. Tune Title: Through the night of doubt and sorrow
