TO Church of God Anthem
The
[Christ's] Church has ["only"] 1 Foundationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQv4EAwMFoQ
1 The church has 1 foundation,’Tis Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is 
His new creation, through water-by 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 1 o’er all the earth,
Her Charter of 
Salvation: 1 Christ, 1 faith, 1 birth.
1 Holy name 
she blesses, partakes 1 Holy food;
And to 1 hope 
she presses, with every grace endued. 
3 Long with a scornful wonder, men saw her sore oppressed,
By 
schisms rent asunder; By heresies 
distressed.
Yet saints their watch were 
keeping, to hail a brighter day,
When God should stop their 
weeping, take their reproach away.
4 Through 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 that small church 
victorious, shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth has union, with Father and His Son, 
And mystic sweet 
communion, with those whose rest is won.
O blessed Heav'nly chorus! Lord, 
save us by Your grace.
That we, with saints before us, may see You face 
to face.
6 The evening sun is shining, the cloudy day is past;
The time of 
their repining is at an end at last.
The voice of God is calling, to 
unity again;
Division walls are falling, with all the 
Creeds of men.
