The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone; Laurence Hall Stookey Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 883 hymnals Topics: Processional Hymns Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ our Lord; we are his new creation by water and the Word; from heaven he came and sought us to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought us, and for our life he died. [Stanza 2 under copyright] 3 Though with a scornful wonder the world sees us 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 our war, we wait the consummation of peace forevermore, till with the vision glorious our longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 5 We now on earth have union with God, the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won. Oh, 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
