The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone Hymnal: Voices United #332 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Church Triumphant 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 '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 blessed,
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.
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

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 Though with a scornful wonder
This 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 Through 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 blessed heav'nly chorus!
Lord, save us by your grace,
That we, like saints before us,
May see you face to face. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

The Day You Gave Us, God, Is Ended
Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: Voices United #437 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, God, is ended,
the sun is sinking in the west;
to you our morning hymns ascended,
your praise shall sanctify our rest.
2 We thank you that your church unsleeping,
while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world a watch is keeping
and rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
your church beneath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
your wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, God! Your throne shall never,
like earth's proud empires, pass away;
your rule remains and grows forever,
until there dawns that glorious day. Languages: English Tune Title: ST CLEMENT

Church of God, Elect and Glorious
Author: James E. Seddon Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #526 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious,
holy nation, chosen race;
called as God's own special people,
royal priests and heirs of grace:
know the purpose of your calling,
show to all God's mighty deeds;
tell of love which knows no limits,
grace which meets all human needs.
2 God has called you out of darkness
into this most marvelous light;
bringing truth to live within you,
turning blindness into sight;
let your light so shine around you
that God's name is glorified;
and all find fresh hope and purpose
in Christ Jesus crucified.
3 Once you were an alien people,
strangers to God's heart of love;
Christ has brought you home in mercy,
citizens of heav'n above;
let his love flow out to others,
let them feel the Savior's care;
that they too may know his welcome
and his countless blessings share.
4 Church of God, elect and holy,
be the people Christ intends,
strong in faith and swift to answer
each command your master sends:
royal priests, fulfill your calling
through your sacrifice and prayer,
give your lives in joyful service,
sing his praise, his love declare. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-7 Languages: English Tune Title: RIPLEY

Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Christ the Lord returns to reign.
2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him
Robed in glorious majesty;
Those who set at nought and sold him,
Pierced and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall their true Messiah see.
3 Those dear tokens of his Passion
Still his dazzling body bears,
Cause of endless exultation
To his ransomed worshipers.
With what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture
Gaze we on those glorious scars!

High on thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the pow'r and glory,
Claim the kingdom as thine own.

Thou shalt reign, and thou alone! Languages: English Tune Title: HELMSLEY

Angel voices ever singing
Author: Francis Pott, 1832- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #44 (1917) Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1. Angel voices ever singing
Round Thy throne of light,
Angel harps for ever ringing
Rest not, day nor night;
Thousands only live to bless Thee,
And confess Thee
Lord of might!
2. Thou, who art beyond the farthest
Mortal eye can scan
Can it be that Thou regardest
Songs of sinful man?
Can we know that Thou art near us,
And wilt hear us?
Yes! we can.
3. Yes! we know that Thou rejoicest
O'er each work of Thine;
Thou didst ears and hands and
voices
For Thy praise design;
Craftsman's art and music's measure
For Thy pleasure
All combine.
4. In Thy house, great God, we offer
Of Thine own to Thee;
And for Thine acceptance proffer,
All unworthily,
Hearts and minds, and hands and
voices,
In our choicest
Psalmody.
5. Honour, glory, might, and merit,
Thine shall ever be!
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Blessed Trinity!
Of the best that Thou hast given,
Earth and heaven
Render Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL VOICES

In exile here we wander
Author: W. Cooke Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #74 (1898) Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 In exile here we wander:
In heaven is our abode,--
The city of the angels,
The city of our God.
And here we toil, and strive, and fight,
With sin and woe oprest;
There God will give the sons of light
Eternal joy and rest.
2 Through many sore temptations,
By many sorrows torn,
We strive to win the glory;
Our many falls we mourn.
But faith holds out the vision bright
Of our eternal home;
And hope assures the realms of light,
When we have overcome.
3 Jesu, our joy and gladness,
To Thee for aid we flee:
Give tears of true contrition;
Our souls from guilt set free:
And we shall rise in that great day,
In bodies like to Thine,
And with Thy saints, in bright array,
Shall in Thy glory shine.
4 There we, as children dwelling,
Who here as exiles groan,
God's praises shall be telling
Before His glorious throne:
There in our endless home shall rest,
From strife and sorrow free,
And join the anthem of the blest,
Forever, Lord, to Thee.
Amen.
