- The Church's One Foundation. "The Church's One Foundation" is a Christian hymn written in the 1860s by Samuel John Stone. The song was written as a direct response to the schism within the Church of South Africa caused by John William Colenso, first Bishop of Natal, who denounced much of the Bible as fictitious
Lyrics:Samuel John Stone (1839-1900)
Music:Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876)
I believe I was singing on this recording. What makes this rendition particularly beautiful is the use of the two descants sung quietly and then combined as a double-descant for a forte final verse. They were written by our then Director of Music Dr Richard Marlow, who would have been 80 last week. There are two CDs of hymns with these "double-descants".
Wow!! This is so soothing and really really beautiful. Thanks for posting
Perfect Harmony.This is one of my favourite Hymn tunes. The descant is very beautiful, I have never heard such perfect music and harmony.
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 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.
3
Tho' with a scornful wonder,
men see her sore oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping,
their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4
’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.
5
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,
In love may dwell with Thee.
My heart and whole being THANK you for these never-forgotten Hymns and the melody of the Pipe Organ. God's Peace!!!
Awesome...reminds me of past precious years, when the church earnestly contend for the FAITH once delivered unto the saints.
So sad you now have clergies and lay reader's with divergent views, some even supporting same sex marriages, abortions, transgender and other vices once considered abhorrent to the church!.

Thank you so much for posting all of the verses! It is my devotion for September 1 in the amazing grace 366 inspiring hymn stories for daily devotions by Kenneth Osbeck. But it only has three of the verses. So thank you very much. I’ll see you in heaven!
I never fail to hear such perfect singing and organ playing

Love that this arrangement includes the Acapella verses. There's something about human voices singing in harmony without accompaniment that elevates the meaning of this song.
Please I need this song really bad
