The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 859 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:22-23 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. 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 Used With Tune: AURELIA

thunder like a mighty flood:
Jesus out of every nation
you've redeemed us by your blood.

when the forty days were o'er,
shall our hearts forget your promise,
"I am with you evermore."

you on earth our food, our stay.

earth's Redeemer, plead for me,
and the songs that sound in heaven
will repeat your gracious plea.

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:22-23 Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in his justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than up in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgement given.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of man's mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 But we make his love too narrow
by false limits of our own;
and we magnify his strictness
with a zeal he will not own.
5 There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has been shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of the Head.
6 There is grace enough for thousands
of new worlds as great as this;
there is room for fresh creations
in that upper home of bliss.
Descant:
If our love were but more simple,
we should take him at his word;
and our lives would be all gladness
in the joy of Christ our Lord. Topics: Third Sunday Before Lent Year B; Lent II Year C; Proper 5 Year B; Proper 8 Year B; Proper 26 Year B Used With Tune: CORVEDALE

Eternal Christ, You Rule
Author: Dan Damon Meter: 6.7.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:15-23 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Christ, you rule
keeping company with pain;
enduring ridicule,
rejected, still you reign.
2 Eternal Christ, you rule
speaking pardon from the cross;
forgiving pounded nails;
death did its worst and lost.
3 Eternal Christ, you rule
taking children by the hand;
the proud return to school;
the meek receive the land.
4 Eternal Christ, you rule
fasting forty days alone;
the tempter played the fool,
expecting bread from stone.
5 Eternal Christ, you rule
keeping company with pain;
with love and truth as tools,
come build in us your reign. Topics: Jesus Christ Love of; Jesus Christ Sovereignty and Reign; Reign of Christ; Year A Proper 15; Year A Reign of Christ; Year B Reign of Christ; Year C Reign of Christ Used With Tune: THROCKMORTON
Eternal Christ, You Rule
