The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 861 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 5:26-27 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
the world sees her 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.

and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried,
"Alleluia!"
2 How often, making music, we have found
a new dimension in the world of sound,
as worship moved us to a more profound
alleluia!
3 So has the church, in liturgy and song,
in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
borne witness to the truth in every tongue:
alleluia!
4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night
when utmost evil strove against the Light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
alleluia!
5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always,
"Alleluia!"

Pure and spotless, gracious Lord,
Let us see your great salvation
Perfectly in you restored.

Till in heav'n we take our place,
Till we sing before the almighty
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

To Zion shall be giv'n
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heav'n.
Amen.

se entrega en los brazos de un sueño traidor;
Mas para los siervos del buen Salvador,
velar esperando es su anhelo mejor.
