Indelible Grace - The churchs one foundation

The chur^Dch's one foun^Ddati^Aon Is J^Gesus Chr^Aist her L^Dord^A, She ^Dis His new cr^Aeati^Gon By ^Em7water and the Wo^Asusrd. ^A From he^Daven He came and s^Gought ^Dher To ^Bmbe His holy br^Emide; With H^Dis own blood He b^G7ought her, And ^Em7for her l^A7ife He d^Died.

El^Dect from every n^Dati^Aon, Yet o^Gne over a^All the ea^Drth^A; Her ch^Darter of sa^Alvati^Gon, One L^Em7ord, one faith, one birt^Asush; ^{A D}One holy Name she ^Gblesse^Ds, Part^Bmakes one holy fo^Emod, And t^Do one hope she pr^G7esses, With e^Em7very gr^A7ace end^Dued.

Though w^Dith a scornful w^Dond^Aer Men s^Gee her s^Aore oppre^Dsse^Ad, By sch^Disms rent a^Asunde^Gr, By ^Em7heresies distres^Asussed, ^A Yet sai^Dnts their watch ar^Ge keep^Ding; The^Bmir cry goes up^Em, "How long?"

And so^Don the night of w^G7eeping Shal^Em7l be the ^A7morn of ^Dsong.

The church s^Dhall never pe^Dris^Ah, Her d^Gear Lor^Ad to defe^Dnd ^A To gu^Dide, sustain and c^Aheris^Gh, Is w^Em7ith her to the e^Asusnd ^A Though ^Dthere be those tha^Gt hate^D her, And^Bm false sons in^Em her pale Aga^Dinst a foe or tra^G7itor, She ^Em7ever shal^A7l prevai^Dl

Mid t^Doil and tribul^Dati^Aon, And t^Gumult o^Af her war^D, ^A She w^Daits the con^Asummati^Gon Of ^Em7peace forevermor^Asuse; ^A 'Til, w^Dith the vision g^Gloriou^Ds, Her ^Bmlonging eyes are ble^Emssed, And t^Dhe great church vict^G7orious Shall ^Em7be the ch^A7urch at re^Dst.

Yet s^Dhe on earth hath ^Duni^Aon With G^God the Th^Aree in On^De, ^A And my^Dstic sweet com^Amunio^Gn With th^Em7ose whose rest i^Asuss won.^A O ^Dhappy ones and ^Ghol^Dy! Lord, ^Bmgive us grace that ^Emwe Like t^Dhem, the meek and ^G7lowly, On ^Em7high may d^A7well with The^De.
