1.教会唯一的根基,是主耶稣基督,蒙主重造恩新奇,栽培浇灌祝福,主从天上来寻她,为主圣洁新妇,舍身流血的代价,坚立永远基础。
2.虽从万邦选出来,信徒都成一体,教会合一的根据,一主一信一洗,同尊唯一的圣名,同餐唯一天粮,同怀唯一的希望,同蒙恩爱久长。
3.虽她历尽了艰辛,受人讥笑毁谤,内争分裂了她身,异端叛逆中伤,圣徒焦虑对问说,黑夜到底多长?哭泣即将变歌声,转瞬便见晨光。
4.她虽在地却联合,真神三位一体,已享安息的众圣,奥秘永恒团契,直至欲穿的望眼,看见光荣家乡,到时凯旋的教会,得享安乐无疆。
1. 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 ev-’ry 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 ev-’ry grace endued.
3. 'Mid toil and tribulation And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forever more; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.
4. O happy ones and holy Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee; There, past the border mountains, Where in sweet vales, the bride With Thee, by living fountains, Forever shall abide
