ONE FOUNDATION

HYMN FOR TODAY - Wednesday August 20

==================================

The Church's one foundation 

Is Jesus Christ our 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.

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.

The Church shall never perish!

Her dear Lord, to defend,

To guide, sustain, and cherish,

Is with her to the end.

Though there be those that hate her,

False sons within her pale,

Against both foe and traitor

She ever shall prevail.
