1  The Church's  one   found-a -tion  is   Jesus    Christ her Lord
2  Elect from    ev  - ery   na-tion, Yet  one o'er all    the earth;
3  Tho' with a   scorn-ful  won-der   men  see her  sore   op -pressed,
4  'Mid toil and trib -u  -  la-tion, and  tumult   of     her war,

1  She is His    new  cre-a - tion  by  water     and    the  word;
2  Her charter   of   sal-va -tion: One Lord, one faith, one  birth;
3  By schisms    rent a - sun-der,  by  here   -  sies   dis -tressed,
4  She waits the con -sum-ma -tion  of  peace for  ev  - er - more

1  From heav'n He   came  and sought her to     be    His ho -ly  bride;
2  One ho  -  ly    name  she bles - ses, par - takes one ho -ly  food,
3  Yet saints their watch are keep - ing, their cry   goes up How long?
4  Till with  the   vi  - sion glo - rious, her long -ing eyes are blest

1  With His own   blood  He  bought her, and   for her life   He died.
2  And  to one    hope   she pres - ses  with  every   grace  en-dued.
3  And  soon the  night  of  weep - ing  shall be the  morn   of song.
4  And  the great Church vic- to  -rious shall be the  Church at rest
