With Thy pure light this temple fill, And hither, when invoked, descend; Here to Thy people's prayer attend: Here, in their hearts forevermore, The Spirit's quick'ning graces pour. 3 Here may the faithful, day by day, In humble adoration pray; And here receive from Thy dear love The blessings of that home above, Till, loosened from this mortal chain, Its everlasting joys they gain.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #134 (1927) Topics: 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 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 for evermore; 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 mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: Oh, happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace, that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: [The Church's one foundation]
