Verse 1:
    GM7              DM7        GM7              DM7
The church's one foundation, is Jesus Christ her Lord,
A7/C# Bm7            A  G/A      GM7           F#7
She   is His new cre-a- tion, by water and the Word.
     Bm7                Em7           Bm7         Em7
From heav'n He came and sought her to be His holy bride;
     GM7              DM7            Em7     F#+  F#7 GM7 {Riff 1}
With His own blood He bought her and for her life He  died.

Verse 2:
 GM7             DM7         GM7              DM7
Elect from ev'ry nation, yet one o'er all the earth;
A7/C# Bm7            A  G/A       GM7                  F#7
Her   charter of sal-va-tion, One Lord, one faith, one birth;
    Bm7           Em7         Bm7            Em7
One holy Name she blesses, partakes one holy food,
    GM7             DM7           Em7   F#+   F#7  GM7 {Riff 1}
And to one hope she presses, with ev'ry grace en - dued.

Verse 3:
       GM7             DM7        GM7            DM7
Though with a scornful wonder men see her sore oppressed,
A7/C# Bm7            A   G/A     GM7         F#7
By    schisms rent a-sun der, by heresies distressed,
    Bm7                    Em             Bm7               Em7
Yet saints their watch are keeping, their cry goes up, "How long?"
    GM7               DM7           Em7    F#+  F#7 GM7 {Riff 1}
And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of  song.

Verse 4:
    GM7                DM7         GM7            DM7
The church shall never perish, her dear Lord to defend
A7/C# Bm7                A  G/A      GM7             F#7
To    guide, sustain and cherish, is with her to the end
       Bm7                 Em7          Bm7               Em7
Though there be those that hate her and false sons in her pale
 GM7             DM7          Em7  F#+   F#7 GM7 {Riff 1}
Against a foe or traitor, she ever shall pre-vail

Verse 5:
    GM7           DM7         GM7           DM7
Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war,
A7/C# Bm7    D         A  G/A     GM7          F#7
She   waits the consum-ma-tion of peace forevermore;
      Bm7             Em7           Bm7              Em7
Till, with the vision glorious, her longing eyes are blessed,
    GM7                 DM7           Em7    F#+    F#7 GM7 {Riff 1}
And the great church victorious shall be the church at  rest.

Verse 6:
    GM7               DM7        GM7              DM7
Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One,
A7/C# Bm7              A   G/A      GM7                 F#7
And   mystic sweet com-mun-ion with those whose rest is won.
  Bm7            Em7         Bm7                Em7
O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we
     GM7                DM7       Em7      F#+   F#7  GM7
Like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with Thee.
