G42

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

The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord
and on that revelation each one of us is called
to taste His full salvation, to know His life within
a pure and holy nation to glorify the King

Elect from every nation, yet one o'er all the earth
her charter of salvation : One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses
Partake one holy food
And to one hope se presses
With every grace endued

The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord
and on that revelation each one of us is called
to taste His full salvation, to know His life within
a pure and holy nation to glorify the King

And she on earth has 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

The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord
and on that revelation each one of us is called
to taste His full salvation, to know His life within
a pure and holy nation to glorify the King
