Indelible Grace - The churchs one foundation

The chur^Dch's one foun^D/F#dation     G Asus A Is Jesus Christ her Lord, D    D/F# She is His new creation By w^Gater and the W^Asusord. ^A From he^Emaven He came and so^D/F#ught her To ^Gbe His holy br^Asuside; ^A With H^Dis own blood He b^D/F#ought her, G A   D And for her life He died.

El^Dect from every n^D/F#ation, Yet o^Gne over all the ^Asusearth;^A D   D/F# Her charter of salvation, One L^Gord, one faith, one bi^Asusrth; ^A One h^Emoly Name she bl^D/F#esses, Part^Gakes one holy f^Asusood, ^A   D D/F# And to one hope she presses,   G    A D With every grace endued.

Men s^Gee her sore oppr^Asusessed,^A By sch^Disms rent asu^D/F#nder, By h^Geresies distre^Asusssed, ^A Yet s^Emaints their watch are k^D/F#eeping; G   Asus A Their cry goes up, "How long?"

And so^Don the night of w^D/F#eeping G   A D Shall be the morn of song.

The church s^Dhall never peri^D/F#sh, G   Asus A Her dear Lord to defend To gu^Dide, sustain and ch^D/F#erish, G  Asus A Is with her to the end Though th^Emere be those that ^D/F#hate her, And f^Galse sons in her p^Asusale ^A Aga^Dinst a foe or tr^D/F#aitor, G   A D She ever shall prevail

Mid t^Doil and tribul^D/F#ation, G   Asus A And tumult of her war, She w^Daits the consum^D/F#mation Of pe^Gace foreverm^Asusore; ^A     Em D/F# 'Til, with the vision glorious, Her lo^Gnging eyes are bles^Asussed, ^A And t^Dhe great church vict^D/F#orious G    A D Shall be the church at rest.

Yet s^Dhe on earth hath u^D/F#nion With G^God the Three in ^AsusOne, ^A       D D/F# And mystic sweet communion With th^Gose whose rest is ^Asuswon. ^A O h^Emappy ones and h^D/F#oly! Lord, g^Give us grace that ^Asuswe ^A Like th^Dem, the meek and l^D/F#owly, On h^Gigh may dw^Aell with Th^Dee.
