S. S. Wesley

The Church's one foun-da-tion Is Je-sus Christ her Lord; She is His new cre- a- tion

By wa-ter and the word:

From heav'n He came and sought her To be His ho-ly bride; With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died.

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.
2 Elect from every nation,
Yet one o'er 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.

LAMBETH 7s.

3 '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.

4 Yet she on earth hath 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 may dwell with Thee.

Hail! Thou God of grace and glory, Who Thy name hast mag- ni fied. By redemption's

wondrous story, By the Saviour cru. ci fied; Thanks to Thee for ev'ry bless-ing,

Flowing from the fount of love; Thanks for present good unceasing, And for hopes of bliss a-bove. 肥

5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
long,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are
strong.

2 Thou wast their rock, their fortress and 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; their might; [fight; Soon,soon to faithful warriors comes Thy rest; Thou, Lord, their captain in the well-fought Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true

light.

7 But lo,there breaks a yet more glorious day; The saints triumphant rise in bright array; 3 Omay Thy soldiers, faithful,true,and bold, The King of glory passes on His way. Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,

And win with them the victor's crown of 8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's

gold.

4 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine.

BENEATH the shadow of the cross,

As earthly hopes remove,

His new commandment Jesus gives,
His blesséd word of love.

2 O bond of union, strong and deep!
O bond of perfect peace!

Not e'en the lifted cross can harm
If we but hold to this.

3 Then, Jesus, be Thy Spirit ours,
And swift our feet shall move
To deeds of pure self-sacrifice,
And the sweet tasks of love.

4 They come, they come: thine exiled bands, 4 Smile, Lord, on each divine attempt

Where'er they rest or roam,

Have heard thy voice in distant lands,

And hasten to their home.

To spread the gospel's rays, And build on sin's demolished throne The temples of Thy praise.
