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
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
Though with a scornful wonder
We see her sore 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
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
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
Though with a scornful wonder
We see her sore 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
