The church’s one foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: Together in Song #457 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Baptism; Christian Community; Communion of Saints; Consummation in Christ; Dedication of Church Buildgin; Eternal Life; Eucharist; Funerals; Hope; People of God; Saints Days and Holy Days St Simon and St Luke; Unity of the Church Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
the 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 for evermore,
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blessed,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth has union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give to us the grace
like them, the meek and lowly,
in heaven to seek your face. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA
The church’s one foundation
Blest be the tie that binds
Author: John Fawcett, 1740-1817; Edmond L. Budry, 1854-1932 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #481 (1997) Topics: Jesus Christ Unity in First Line: Blest be the tie that binds (Béni soit le lien) Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above.
2 Before our Maker's throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
3 We share each other's woes,
each other's burdens bear,
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part,
it gives us keenest pain,
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way;
in perfect friendship we shall live
in God's eternal day.

1 Béni soit le lien
qui nous unit en Christ,
le saint amour, l'amour divin
que verse en nous l'Esprit!
2 Au ciel, vers notre Dieu,
avec joie et ferveur,
s'élèvent nos chants et nos vœux,
parfum doux au Seigneur.
3 Nous mettons en commun
nos fardeaux, nos labeurs;
en Jésus nous ne sommes qu'un
dans la joie et les pleurs!
4 Si nous devons bientôt
quitter ces lieux bénis,
nous nous retrouverons là-haut,
pour toujours réunis.

with a liberating light;
praise the One who frees the pris'ners,
turning blindness into sight.
Praise the One who preached the gospel,
healing ev'ry dread disease,
calming storms and feeding thousands
with the very bread of peace.
2 Praise the One who blessed the children
with a strong yet gentle word;
praise the One who drove out demons
with a piercing, two-edged sword.
Praise the One who brings cool water
to the desert's burning sand;
from this well comes living water
quenching thirst in ev'ry land.
3 Praise the one true love incarnate:
Christ, who suffered in our place;
Jesus died and rose for many
that we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
seeing what our God has done.
Praise the one redeeming glory;
praise the One who makes us one. Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
