English Lyrics 
[The Church’s One Foundation]
[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 over 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 endured.
[3]
Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war,
She wants 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.
[4]
Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with Thee.
