The church's one foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone, 1839-1900; Fernand Barth, 1932 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #479 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Our Hope in God Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ our Lord;
we are his new creation
by water and the word:
from heaven he came and sought us
that we might ever be
his living servant people,
by his own death set free.
2 Called forth from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
our charter of salvation,
one Lord, one faith, one birth,
one holy name professing
and at one table fed,
to one hope we are pressing,
be Christ's own Spirit led.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
the world sees us oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, "How long?"
But soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of our war,
we wait the consummation
of peace forevermore;
till with the vision glorious
our longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 We now on earth have union
with God the Three-in-One,
and share, through faith, 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.

1 L’église universelle
a pour roc Jésus-Christ;
elle est l’oeuvre nouvelle
que sa parole fit.
Habitant le ciel même,
il vint se l’attacher,
et, par un don suprême,
mourut pour la sauver!
2 L’église en sa prière
unit à leur Sauveur
les peuples de la terre,
soumis au seul Seigneur.
C’est son nom qu’elle acclame,
son pain qui la nourrit;
elle verse à toute âme
l’espoir qui la guérit.
3 Honnie et méconnue,
menant de durs combats,
elle attend la venue
de la paix ici-bas.
Contemplant par avance
la fin de son tourment,
la grande délivrance,
le repos permanent.
4 Aujourd’hui, sur la terre,
elle est unie à Dieu,
et, par un saint mystère,
aux élus du saint lieu.
Rends-nous, comme eux, fidèles,
et reçois-nous, Seigneur,
dans la vie éternelle,
dans l’éternel bonheur!

1 Az egyháznak a Jézus a fundámentoma,
A szent Ígére épült fel lelki temploma.
Leszállt a mennyből hívni és eljegyezni őt,
Megváltva drága vérén a váltságban hívőt.
2 Kihívott minden népből egy lelki népet itt,
Kit egy Úr, egy keresztség és egy hit egyesít.
Csak egy nevet magasztal, csak egy cél vonja őt,
és egy terített asztal ád néki új erőt.
3 A világ fejedelme feltámad ellene,
Vagy hamis tudománytól gyaláztatik neve,
S míg egykor felderül majd az Úrnak hajnala,
Csak virrasztói kérdik: Meddig az éjszaka?
4 Sok bajban, küzdelemben meghajszolt, megvetett,
De szent megújulásért és békéért eped,
Míg látomása egykor dicsőn beteljesül,
S a győzedelmes egyház Urával egyesül.
5 A három-egy Istennel már itt e földön egy,
S az üdvözült sereggel egy nép és egy sereg.
Ó mily áldott reménység: Ha itt időnk lejár,
Te boldog szenteiddel fenn Nálad béke vár! Scripture: John 3:5 Languages: English; French; Hungarian Tune Title: AURELIA

we join to thank you for the life remembered.
Father, have mercy, to your children giving
hope in believing.
2 Help us to treasure all that will remind us
of the enrichment in the days behind us.
Your love has set us in the generations,
God of creation.
3 May we, whenever tempted to dejection,
strongly recapture thoughts of resurrection.
You gave us Jesus to defeat our sadness
with Easter gladness.
4 Lord, you can lift us from the grave of sorrow
into the presence of your own tomorrow;
give to your people for the day's affliction
your benediction.

Lord of the living
Here, O my Lord, I see thee
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #543 (1997) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Our Hope in God First Line: Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face;
here would I touch and handle things unseen,
here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace,
and all my weariness upon thee lean.
2 Here would we feed upon the bread of God,
here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven;
here would we lay aside each earthly load,
here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
3 This is the hour of banquet and of song;
this is the heavenly table for us spread;
here let us feast, and, feasting, still prolong
this fellowship in thee, our living bread.
4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear.
The feast, though not the love, is past and gone;
the bread and wine remove, but thou art here,
nearer than ever, still our shield and sun.
5 We have no help but thine, nor do we need
another arm but thine to lean upon;
it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
our strength is in thy might, thy might alone.
6 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness;
mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood.
Here is my robe, my refuge and my peace,
thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God.
7 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by,
yet, passing, points to the glad feast above,
giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
the Lamb's great marriage feast of bliss and love. Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: LANGRAN
Here, O my Lord, I see thee
