A sure and tried foundation stone

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #296 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Laying foundation stone of a place of worship Lyrics: A sure and tried foundation stone, Lord God, in Zion Thou hast laid; Grounded and fix'd on Christ alone, Thy Church shall flourish undismay'd. In vain the gates of hell assail, Impregnable is her defence; The rock of ages cannot fail, Nor winds, nor floods, remove her thence. 316 We build an earthly temple here; Behold the work with favouring eye, And when our hands the top-stone rear, "Grace, grace unto it," be the cry. Then, by the Spirit of Thy might, Come with the Gospel's joyful sound, And here reveal'd in Thine own light, Be Thou by all who seek Thee found. Lord! we have loved Thy dwelling-place, Thy Mercy-seat with men below, Here then, to all who seek Thy face, From age to age Thy goodness show. Languages: English

Stone Hymnal: The Celebration Hymnal #401 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Living Church Nature and Foundation 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 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 '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. 4 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, On high may dwell with Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

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: Jesus Christ Cornerstone / Foundation 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. --- FRENCH - 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! --- HUNGARIAN - 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
