'Tis 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 bo't 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 Tho' with a scornful wonder,
Men see her sore opprest,
Tho' foes would rend asunder
The rock where she doth rest;
Yet saints their faith 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 for ever more;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.

What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not! I am with thee; O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
4 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose;
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake!" Tune Title: FOUNDATION

Impregnable is her defence;

Nor winds, nor floods, remove her thence.

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.

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

Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen of the Lord and precious,
binding all the church in one,
Holy Zion's help forever,
and our confidence alone;
Holy Zion's help forever,
and our confidence alone.
2 To this temple where we call you,
come, O Lord of hosts and stay;
come, with all your loving kindness,
hear your people as they pray,
and your fullest benediction
shed within these walls alway;
and your fullest benediction
shed within these walls alway.
3 Grant, we pray, to all your faithful
all the gifts they ask to gain;
what they gain from you forever
with the blessed to retain;
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with you to reign;
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with you to reign.
4 Praise and honor to the Father,
praise and honor to the Son,
praise and honor to the Spirit,
ever three and ever one,
one in might and one in glory
while unending ages run;
one in might and one in glory,
while unending ages run!

Which God in Zion lays,
To build our heavenly hopes upon,
And His eternal praise.
2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear,
Let saints adore the Name;
They trust their whole salvation here
Nor shall they suffer shame.
3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this Rock the Church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.
4 What though the gates of hell withstood
Yet must this building rise;
’Tis Thine own work, almighty God,
And wondrous in our eyes. Tune Title: [Behold the sure Foundation stone]

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
Men see her opprest,
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.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [My hope is built on nothing less]

Rejoicing this foundation lay,
May be in very deed Thine own,
Built on the precious Corner-Stone.
3 Endue the creatures with the grace
That shall adorn Thy dwelling place;
The beauty of the oak and pine,
The gold and silver, make them Thine.
4 To Thee they all pertain; to Thee
The treasures of the earth and sea;
And when we bring them to Thy throne
We but present Thee with Thine own.

The hands that work preserve from ill;
That we, who these foundations lay,
May raise the topstone in its day. Languages: English Tune Title: SAMSON
