The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Favorite Hymns of Praise #336 (1967) Topics: Church Militant and Triumphant; Church Militant and Triumphant Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the word: From Heav'n 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 ev'ry nation, Yet one o’er 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 ev'ry grace endued. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Til, 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. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [The Church's one foundation]

Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.

Hail to the millions from bondage returning! Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold. 3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing, Streams ever copious are gliding along; Loud from the mountain tops echoes are ringing, Wastes rise in verdure and mingle in song. 4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, Praise to Jehovah ascending on high; Fallen are the engines of war and commotion, Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.
