New Jersey Mass Choir - The Church's One Foundation lyrics
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. Elect is 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. Though with a scornful wonderNew Jersey Mass Choir - The Church's One Foundation - http://motolyrics.com/new-jersey-mass-choir/the-churchs-one-foundation-lyrics.html
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! 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till, with the vision glorious,
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest. Submitter's comments: I need a singable translation of these lyrics in Italian please. So far on line I've only been able to find in in French or Portuguese. We want to sing it in alternating languages for my church's centennial celebration. Thank you!
