The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #251 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21 Lyrics: 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 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 every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
the world sees her oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up: “How long?”
and soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore,
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet 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,
may live eternally. Topics: The Church; The Cross; Cry to God; Election; Eternal Life; Jesus Christ Atonement; Jesus Christ Blood of; Jesus Christ Bridegroom; Unity in Christ; Unity of the Church; Victory Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA
The Church's One Foundation
The church's one foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone, 1839-1900; Fernand Barth, 1932 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #479 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Ephesians 3:20 Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ our Lord;
we are his new creation
by water and the word:
from heaven he came and sought us
that we might ever be
his living servant people,
by his own death set free.
2 Called forth from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
our charter of salvation,
one Lord, one faith, one birth,
one holy name professing
and at one table fed,
to one hope we are pressing,
be Christ's own Spirit led.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
the world sees us oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, "How long?"
But soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of our war,
we wait the consummation
of peace forevermore;
till with the vision glorious
our longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 We now on earth have union
with God the Three-in-One,
and share, through faith, 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.

1 L’église universelle
a pour roc Jésus-Christ;
elle est l’oeuvre nouvelle
que sa parole fit.
Habitant le ciel même,
il vint se l’attacher,
et, par un don suprême,
mourut pour la sauver!
2 L’église en sa prière
unit à leur Sauveur
les peuples de la terre,
soumis au seul Seigneur.
C’est son nom qu’elle acclame,
son pain qui la nourrit;
elle verse à toute âme
l’espoir qui la guérit.
3 Honnie et méconnue,
menant de durs combats,
elle attend la venue
de la paix ici-bas.
Contemplant par avance
la fin de son tourment,
la grande délivrance,
le repos permanent.
4 Aujourd’hui, sur la terre,
elle est unie à Dieu,
et, par un saint mystère,
aux élus du saint lieu.
Rends-nous, comme eux, fidèles,
et reçois-nous, Seigneur,
dans la vie éternelle,
dans l’éternel bonheur!

1 Az egyháznak a Jézus a fundámentoma,
A szent Ígére épült fel lelki temploma.
Leszállt a mennyből hívni és eljegyezni őt,
Megváltva drága vérén a váltságban hívőt.
2 Kihívott minden népből egy lelki népet itt,
Kit egy Úr, egy keresztség és egy hit egyesít.
Csak egy nevet magasztal, csak egy cél vonja őt,
és egy terített asztal ád néki új erőt.
3 A világ fejedelme feltámad ellene,
Vagy hamis tudománytól gyaláztatik neve,
S míg egykor felderül majd az Úrnak hajnala,
Csak virrasztói kérdik: Meddig az éjszaka?
4 Sok bajban, küzdelemben meghajszolt, megvetett,
De szent megújulásért és békéért eped,
Míg látomása egykor dicsőn beteljesül,
S a győzedelmes egyház Urával egyesül.
5 A három-egy Istennel már itt e földön egy,
S az üdvözült sereggel egy nép és egy sereg.
Ó mily áldott reménység: Ha itt időnk lejár,
Te boldog szenteiddel fenn Nálad béke vár!

O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: Common Praise #63a (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Ephesians 3:17 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie!
above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by:
yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting Light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
2 O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.
For Christ is born of Mary;
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
3 How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is given!
so God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming;
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him, still
the dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
descend to us, we pray;
cast out our sin, and enter in:
be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels,
the great glad tidings tell:
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel. Topics: Christmas; Chirstimas Midnight Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN
