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.

English Lyrics 1 A mighty fortress is our God,a bulwark never failing;our helper he, amid the floodof mortal ills prevailing.For still our ancient foedoes seek to work us woe;his craft and power are great,and armed with cruel hate,on earth is not his equal.2 Did we in our own strength confide,our striving would be losing,were not…
