Verse 1:
        D            D   A
The church's one foundation
    G       A        D  A
Is Jesus Christ her Lord,
    D            A   G
She is His new creation
   Em7             Asus  A
By water and the Word.
       D                 G     D
From heaven He came and sought her
   Bm            Em
To be His holy bride;
      D                G7
With His own blood He bought her,
    Em7      A7      D
And for her life He died.

Verse 2:
  D               D  A
Elect from every nation,
     G        A        D  A
Yet one over all the earth;
      D          A    G
Her charter of salvation,
     Em7                     Asus  A
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
D                 G     D
One holy Name she blesses,
    Bm              Em
Partakes one holy food,
     D                G7
And to one hope she presses,
      Em7    A7     D
With every grace endued.
Verse 3:
        D               D  A
Though with a scornful wonder
     G       A        D  A
Men see her sore oppressed,
      D          A    G
By schisms rent asunder,
   Em7             Asus  A
By heresies distressed,
       D                 G     D
Yet saints their watch are keeping;
   Bm            Em
Their cry goes up, "How long?"

      D                G7
And soon the night of weeping
    Em7      A7      D
Shall be the morn of song.

Verse 4:
            D            D  A
The church shall never perish,
     G      A        D  A
Her dear Lord to defend
     D                 A    G
To guide, sustain and cherish,
    Em7             Asus  A
Is with her to the end
       D                 G     D
Though there be those that hate her,
   Bm            Em
And false sons in her pale
   D                G7
Against a foe or traitor,
    Em7      A7      D
She ever shall prevail

Verse 5:
     D             D  A
Mid toil and tribulation,
     G      A        D  A
And tumult of her war,
     D           A      G
She waits the consummation
   Em7             Asus  A
Of peace forevermore;
       D               G     D
'Til, with the vision glorious,
    Bm                  Em
Her longing eyes are blessed,
     D                   G7
And the great church victorious
      Em7      A7        D
Shall be the church at rest.

Verse 6:
     D                D  A
Yet she on earth hath union
      G        A        D  A
With God the Three in One,
      D             A    G
And mystic sweet communion
       Em7             Asus  A
With those whose rest is won.
  D              G  D
O happy ones and holy!
      Bm                 Em
Lord, give us grace that we
      D                 G7
Like them, the meek and lowly,
   Em7       A7           D
On high may dwell with Thee.
