The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 914 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:5 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
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.
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 hath 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,
on high may dwell with thee.

The Day of Resurrection
Author: John of Damascus, 8th C.; John M. Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 541 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:8 Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad;
the Passover of gladness,
the Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
from sin's dominion free,
our Christ has brought us over
with hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light;
and, listening to his accents,
may hear so calm and plain,
his own "all hail" and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful!
Let earth its song begin!
The world resound in triumph,
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes of gladness blend;
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our Joy that has no end!

For a drink from some clear spring,

Of the thirst I felt within.

Thro' His blood I now am saved.

Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,
Only still to hunger on.

Thro' His blood I now am saved.

Something that would satisfy,

Only mocked my soul's sad cry.

Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings,
Thro' His blood I now am saved.
4. Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me.

Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings,
Thro' His blood I now am saved.
