SDA Hymns – The Church Has One Foundation (Guitar)

D              G   D     A
The church has one foundation,

D      G   A       A7  D
‘Tis Jesus Christ, her Lord;

A   D  Bm      A   G
She is his new creation

D  G     D       A
By water and the Word.

     D          G   D  Bm       D
From heaven he came and sought her

D  Bm     D    Em
To be his holy bride;

     D       G     D         A
With his own blood he bought her,

D      G     A    A7 D
And for her life he died.

D          G D     A
Elect from every nation,

D       G    A   A7  D
Yet one o’er all the earth;

A   D   Bm     A    G
Her charter of salvation:

D          G     D       A
One Lord, one faith, one birth.

     D      G   D  Bm   D
One holy name she blesses,

D  Bm        D    Em
Partakes one holy food,

    D      G    D       A
And to one hope she presses,

D      G     A    A7 D
With every grace endued.

D             G    D      A
Though with a scornful wonder,

        G   A    A7 D
Men see her sore oppressed,

A      D    Bm         A   G
Though foes would rent asunder,

D          G    D        A
The Rock where she doth rest,

     D              G   D  Bm   D
Yet saints their faith are keeping;

D     Bm       D        Em
Their cry goes up: “How long?”

    D        G     D      A
And soon the night of weeping

D      G     A    A7 D
Shall be the morn of song.

D             G   D  A
‘Mid toil and tribulation,

D     G    A  A7  D
And tumult of her war,

A   D     Bm     A    G
She waits the consummation

D  G         D   A
Of peace, forevermore;

     D        G  D    Bm   D
Till with the vision glorious,

D    Bm        D    Em
Her longing eyes are blest,

    D         G      D     A
And the great church victorious,

D      G     A    A7 D
Shall be the church at rest.
