E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 2 Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, darkness be over me, my rest a stone; yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 3 There let the way appear, steps unto heaven; all that thou sendest me, in mercy given; angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 4 Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise, out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; so by my woes to be nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing cleaving the sky, sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly, still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee; nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee! French: 1 Mon Dieu, plus près de toi, plus près de toi! C'est le cri de ma foi: Plus près de toi! Dans le jour où l'épreuve déborde comme un fleuve, garde-moi près de toi, plus près de toi! 2 Plus près de toi, Seigneur, plus près de toi! Tiens-moi dans ma douleur tout près de toi, alors que la souffrance fait son oeuvre en silence, toujours plus près de toi, plus près de toi! 3 Plus près de toi, toujours, plus près de toi! Donne-moit ton secourts, soutiens ma foi! Que Satan se déchaîne, ton amour me ramène toujours plus près de toi, plus près de toi! 4 Mon Dieu, plus près de toi! Dans le désert j'ai vu, plus près de toi, ton ciel ouvert, Pèlerin, bon courage! Ton chant brave l'orage: Mon Dieu, plus près de toi, plus près de toi! Used With Tune: EXCELSIOR (BETHANY)

The Church's One Foundation

Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 907 hymnals Topics: The Church; The Cross; Cry to God; Election; Eternal Life; Jesus Christ Atonement; Jesus Christ Blood of; Jesus Christ Bridegroom; Unity in Christ; Unity of the Church; Victory 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 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. 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 us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Used With Tune: AURELIA
