do not let yourself be cheated out of it.

One Foundation

THE CHURCH'S ONE FOUNDATION

by

S.J. Stone

The Church's one foundation

Is Jesus Christ her Lord;

She is his new creation,

By water and the word;

From Heav'n he came and sought her

To be his holy bride;

With his own blood he bought her,

And for her life he died.

Elect from ev'ry 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 ev'ry grace endued.

Mid toil and tribulation

And tumult of her war,

She waits the consummation

Of peace forever more;

Till with the vision glorious

Her longing eyes are blest,

And the great Church victorious

Shall be the Church at rest.

O happy ones and holy!

Lord, give us grace that we

Like them, the meek and lowly,

On high may dwell with thee;

There, past the border mountains,

Where in sweet vales, the bride

With thee, by living fountains,

Forever shall abide!
