<p>The Church’s one foundation<br>
|
||
Is Jesus Christ her Lord,<br>
|
||
She is His new creation<br>
|
||
By water and the Word.<br>
|
||
From heaven He came and sought her<br>
|
||
To be His holy bride;<br>
|
||
With His own blood He bought her<br>
|
||
And for her life He died.</p>
|
||
<p>She is from every nation,<br>
|
||
Yet one o’er all the earth;<br>
|
||
Her charter of salvation,<br>
|
||
One Lord, one faith, one birth;<br>
|
||
One holy Name she blesses,<br>
|
||
Partakes one holy food,<br>
|
||
And to one hope she presses,<br>
|
||
With every grace endued.</p>
|
||
<p>The Church shall never perish!<br>
|
||
Her dear Lord to defend,<br>
|
||
To guide, sustain, and cherish,<br>
|
||
Is with her to the end:<br>
|
||
Though there be those who hate her,<br>
|
||
And false sons in her pale,<br>
|
||
Against or foe or traitor<br>
|
||
She ever shall prevail.</p>
|
||
<p>Though with a scornful wonder<br>
|
||
Men see her sore oppressed,<br>
|
||
By schisms rent asunder,<br>
|
||
By heresies distressed:<br>
|
||
Yet saints their watch are keeping,<br>
|
||
Their cry goes up, “How long?”<br>
|
||
And soon the night of weeping<br>
|
||
Shall be the morn of song!</p>
|
||
<p>’Mid toil and tribulation,<br>
|
||
And tumult of her war,<br>
|
||
She waits the consummation<br>
|
||
Of peace forevermore;<br>
|
||
Till, with the vision glorious,<br>
|
||
Her longing eyes are blest,<br>
|
||
And the great Church victorious<br>
|
||
Shall be the Church at rest.</p>
|
||
<p>Yet she on earth hath union<br>
|
||
With God the Three in One,<br>
|
||
And mystic sweet communion<br>
|
||
With those whose rest is won,<br>
|
||
With all her songs and daughters<br>
|
||
Who, by the Master’s hand<br>
|
||
Led through the deathly waters,<br>
|
||
Repose in Eden land.</p>
|
||
<p>O happy ones and holy!<br>
|
||
Lord, give us grace that we<br>
|
||
Like them, the meek and lowly,<br>
|
||
On high may dwell with Thee:<br>
|
||
There, past the border mountains,<br>
|
||
Where in sweet vales the Bride<br>
|
||
With Thee by living fountains<br>
|
||
Forever shall abide!</p>
