Hymn 122 THE CHURCH’S ONE Lyrics
1. The church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord, She is
His new creation. By spirit and the word;
From heaven He came and sought her
To be His holy bride With His one own blood
He bought her, And for her life He died
2. Elect from every nation,
Yet one over 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 endured.
3. “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.
