^GThe Church’s ^Done foundat^Emion is Jesus C^Dhrist, her ^GLord; ^GShe is His ^B7new creat^Emion by ^Cwater and the ^Dword, ^GFrom Heaven He came and ^Emsought her to be His holy ^Ambride, ^GWith his own ^Cblood He bought ^Am7her and for her ^Dlife He d^Gied.

^GElect from every ^Dnation, yet ^Emone o'er a^Dll the ^Gearth; ^GHer charter of s^B7alvati^Emon, one ^CLord, one faith, one ^Dbirth; ^GOne holy name she blesses, ^Empartakes one holy ^Amfood, ^GAnd to one hope she p^Cresses, with ^Am7every grace ^Dendue^Gd.

^GMid toil and tribul^Dation, and tum^Emult of ^Dher ^Gwar, ^GShe waits ^B7the consumma^Emtion of p^Ceace forever^Dmore; ^GTill, with the vision glorious, her ^Emlonging eyes are b^Amlest, ^GAnd the great church vict^Corious S^Am7hall be the church a^Dt ^Grest.

^GThough with a scornful w^Donder we s^Emee her ^Dsore oppres^Gsed, ^GBy schisms rent a^B7sund^Emer, by h^Ceresies distre^Dssed, ^GYet saints their watch are ^Emkeeping; Their cry goes up, "^AmHow long?" ^GAnd soon the ^Cnight of weeping shall ^Am7be the m^Dorn of s^Gong.

^GYet she on earth hath u^Dnion with G^Emod the T^Dhree in O^Gne, ^GAnd mystic sweet ^B7commu^Emnion with ^Cthose whose rest is ^Dwon. ^GO happy ones and holy! L^Emord, give us grace that ^Amwe ^GLike them, the meek^C and lowly, on ^Am7high may ^Ddwell with ^Gthee.
