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

As one with him, our brother and our friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
One in our love of all things true and fair,
One with the joy that finds a voice in song,
One with the grief that trembles into prayer,
One in the strength that makes your children free
To follow truth, and thus in you to be.
4 Oh, clothe us with your heav'nly armor, Lord.
Your trusty shield and sword of love endure;
Our constant inspiration be your Word;
We ask no victories that are not yours.
Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure fall:
To know that we are serving you is all.

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #654 (2006) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Community in Christ; Community in Christ 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 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 hath union with God, the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won.
Oh, blessed heav'nly chorus! Lord, save us by your grace,
that we, like saints before us, may see you face to face.

The Church of Christ, in Every Age

beset by change, but Spirit-led,
must claim and test her heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across a world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
for shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
a partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For he alone, whose blood was shed,
can cure the fever in our blood,
and teach us how to share our bread
and feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
in full obedience to our Lord,
to care for all, without reserve,
to spread his liberating word. Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM

Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the promised land.
Clear before us through the darkness
Gleams and burns the guiding light;
Pilgrim clasps the hand of pilgrim
Stepping fearless through the night.
2 One the light of God’s own presence
On his ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Bright'ning all the path we tread.
One the object of our journey,
One the faith which never tires,
One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires.
3 One the strain that lips of thousands
Lift as from the heart of one;
One the conflict, one the peril,
One the march in God begun.
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the one almighty Father
Reigns in love for evermore.
4 Onward, therefore, sisters, brothers;
Onward, with the cross our aid.
Bear its shame, and fight its battle
Till we rest beneath its shade.
Soon shall come the great awak'ning;
Soon the rending of the tomb!
Then the scatt'ring of all shadows,
And the end of toil and gloom. Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER

The fount of life, the light of all:
From ev'ry bliss that earth imparts
We turn, unfilled, to hear your call.
2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood;
You plead with all to call on you;
To those who seek you, you are good;
To those who find you, life is new.
3 We taste you, ever-living bread,
And long to feast upon you still;
We drink of you, the fountain-head;
Our thirsting souls from you we fill.
4 For you our restless spirits yearn,
Where'er our changing lot is cast;
Glad, when your smile on us you turn,
Blest, when by faith we hold you fast.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay!
Make all our moments fair and bright!
Oh, chase the night of sin away!
Shed o'er the world your holy light. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTON
