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 and for her life he died. Mid toil and tribulation and tumult of her war. She waits the consummation of peace for evermore. Till with the vision glorious, Her longing eyes are blest and the great Church victorious shall be the church at rest
