Church's One Foundation, The

«D Major»
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 torn 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.

5. 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 blessed,
And the great church victorious shall be the church at rest.

«D Major»
1. ‹A›The ‹D›church's ‹G›one ‹D›founda‹A7›tion is ‹G›Jesus ‹A›Christ, her ‹D›Lord;
‹A7›She ‹D›is His ‹F#›new cre‹G›ation by ‹A7›wa‹G›ter ‹D›and the ‹A›Word:
From ‹D›heaven ‹A7›He ‹D›came ‹G›and sought ‹D›her ‹G›to ‹Bm›be his holy ‹Em›bride;
With ‹D›His own ‹G›blood ‹D›he bought ‹A›her, and for her ‹A›life he ‹D›died.

2. ‹A›E‹D›lect from ‹G›eve‹D›ry na‹A7›tion, yet ‹G›one o'er ‹A›all the ‹D›earth,
‹A7›Her ‹D›charter ‹F#›of sal‹G›vation: One ‹A7›Lord, one ‹D›faith, one ‹A›birth;
One ‹D›ho‹A7›ly ‹D›name ‹G›she bless‹D›es, ‹G›par‹Bm›takes one holy ‹Em›food,
And ‹D›to one ‹G›hope ‹D›she press‹Em›es, with every ‹A›grace en‹D›dued.

3. ‹A›Though ‹D›with a ‹G›scorn‹D›ful won‹A7›der men ‹G›see her ‹A›sore op‹D›pressed,
‹A7›By ‹D›schisms ‹F#›torn a‹G›sunder; by ‹A7›he‹G›re‹D›sies dis‹A›tressed,
Yet ‹D›saints ‹A7›their ‹D›watch ‹G›are keep‹D›ing; ‹G›their ‹Bm›cry goes up, "How ‹Em›long?"
And ‹D›soon the ‹G›night ‹D›of weep‹Em›ing shall be the ‹A›morn of ‹D›song.

5. ‹A›Mid ‹D›toil and ‹G›trib‹D›ula‹A7›tion, and ‹G›tumult ‹A›of her ‹D›war,
‹A7›She ‹D›waits the ‹F#›consum‹G›mation of ‹A7›peace ‹G›for‹D›ever‹A›more;
Till ‹D›with ‹A7›the ‹D›vi‹G›sion glori‹D›ous ‹G›her ‹Bm›longing eyes are ‹Em›blessed,
And ‹D›the great ‹G›church victori‹Em›ous shall be the ‹A›church at ‹D›rest.
