Hymn - The Church has one Foundation

The Church Has One Foundation HYMN WITH LYRICS by Samuel John Stone. "SOON THE NIGHT OF WEEPING SHALL BE THE MORN OF SONG!"

We're making Independent Christ Centered Music, or at least Christ Centred Christian Hymns or covers of them mostly. We hope this contemporary old Hymn is a blessing. We're planning on releasing another Folkey Hymn with words every couple of weeks or so. And pick this and all the beautiful old hymns based on their words and tune and your recommendations.

Perhaps this is a hymn for today for you and the words speak directly to something your going through or you'll grow in your relationship with the Lord through the words of this Scriptural Hymn. Anyway keep an eye out for the next Indie Hymn and thanks so much for taking the time to have a read. Bless ya.

The Church has 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 love he bought her,
and for her life he died.

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.

Tho' with a scornful wonder
the world sees her sore, 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.

The Church shall never perish.
Her dear Lord to defend,
to guide, sustain, and cherish,
is with her to the end.
Tho' there be those that hate her
and strive to see her fail,
against both foe and traitor
she ever shall prevail.

'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.
