The Church’s one foundation
Dm7 Em7 C
Is Jesus Christ her Lord,
C Am7 G7 Fmaj7
She is His new creation
F C G
By water and the Word.

From Heav’n He came and sought her
Am Dm
To be His holy bride;

Fmaj7 Am7
Dm
With His own blood He bought her
Dm7 G C
And for her life He died.
She is 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.
’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.
Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won,
With all her sons and daughters
Who, by the Master’s hand
Led through the deathly waters,
Repose in Eden land.
