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.
