Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 858 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21 Lyrics: 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 '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. 4 Yet she on earth hath union With God, the Three-in-One, And with the saints, communion With those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with thee.

O what their joy and their glory must be

Author: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be, those endless sabbaths the blesséd ones see; crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest; God shall be all, and in all ever blest. 2 What are the Monarch, his court, and his throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? O that the blest ones, who in it have share, all that they feel could as fully declare. 3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, 'Vision of peace', that brings joy evermore. Wish and fufilment can severed be ne'er, nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring, we the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing, while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise thy blesséd people eternally raise. 5 There dawns no sabbath, no sabbath is o'er, those sabbath-keepers have one evermore; one and unending is that triumph-song which to the angels and us shall belong. 6 Now in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, we for that country must yearn and must sigh; seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 7 Low before him with our praises we fall, of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; of whom, the Father; and in whom, the Son; through whom, the Spirit, with them ever One.
