BEAUTIFUL Hymn- The Church's One Foundation (Sing Along with Lyrics)

Details

Description

This beautiful hymn about the Church of God is one that doesn't shy away from the problems in today's church, heresies, schisms, and more, but leads to a strong faith through it all and clinging to the promises of God that He will redeem His church and we will serve Him. The music is by Samuel Wesley and is particularly beautiful - hope you enjoy singing along!

If you enjoyed this rendition of this classic hymn, consider saving it or some of my other songs to your favourite Sunday or Inspirational playlist on Spotify or Apple Music to listen again in the future and help these songs reach more people. Even if your playlist has even just two likes, it does actually help so much with the song getting heard by others, and also makes my day to see that people are enjoying it in their everyday lives.

Lastly, consider this channel your own personal hymn-sing - I'm always hoping for new requests for hard-to-find songs. If you have a favourite hymn you'd like to hear or something you can't find anywhere else on the internet, please leave a comment below and let me know, or email staceyplayshymns@gmail.com and I'll see if I can do it for you! The older and less known, the better! It's always a delight to unearth treasures from the past and give them a new voice to reach believers in a new era.

If you enjoy this channel, you might like the “slowed and reverb” versions that I post on my side channel, @EtherealHymns
They are what kids these days call "slowed+reverb" and what I call “Cathedral Mixes”, where there is more space to think and enough reverb to carry you away peacefully on the clouds of a glorious sunset….

Lyrics - ELW 654

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 Though with a scornful wonder this 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 Through 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 hath union with God, the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won.
Oh, blessed heav'nly chorus! Lord, save us by your grace,
that we, like saints before us, may see you face to face.

Samuel Stone, 1839-1900
