The Church's One Foundation -- 2024 Vocal Remix

The Church's One Foundation is written by Samuel J. Stone, 1866 and Samuel S. Wesley, 1864.
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.
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.
Yet she on earth hath union with God, the Three in One
And mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won.
O blessed heav'nly chorus! Lord, save us by Your grace
That we, like saints before us, may see You face to face.
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.
