THE CHURCH'S ONE FOUNDATION

The Church ’s one foun da

tion Is Je sus Christ her Lord;

She is His new cre a

tion By wa ter and the Word:

From heav’n He came and sought

her To be His ho ly bride;

With His own blood He bought

her, And for her life He died.

E lect from ev ’ry na

tion, Yet one o’er all the earth,

Her char ter of sal va

tion One Lord, one faith, one birth;

One ho ly name she bless

es, Par takes one ho ly food,

And to one hope she press

es, with ev ’ry grace en died.

E dued.
