The
Church’s One Foundation
If you are a child of God, then you are His church. Jesus
is our foundation. It matters not what the sign on your church building says.
It is the people that make up the church who believe in Jesus Christ, have
accepted Him as the Lord and Savior and have been baptized. We worship as one,
with the same heart and mind. We worship the same God, with the same faith and
are baptized into the One who became our foundation. We take the same communion
and receive God’s grace and blessings.
Lyrics by Samuel J. Stone, arranged by Samuel S. Wesley
“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.
Elect from every nation, yet one over 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.
Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she
waits the consummation of peace forever more; Till, with the vision glorious,
her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church
at rest.
Yet she on earth has 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 my dwell
with Thee. Amen
