196 “Christ also loved the Church, and gave Himself for it." ImfTHE Church's one foundation cres Yet saints their watch are keeping, Is Jesus Christ her Lord ;

Their cry goes up,

" How long?" She is His new creation

mf And soon the night of weeping By water and the word :

cres Shall be the morn of song. From heaven Hecame and sought her

4 P 'Mid toil and tribulation To be His holy bride ;

And tumult of her war,

She waits the consummation p And for her life He died.

Of peace for evermore ; 2 mf Elect from every nation,

cres Till with the vision glorious
Yet one o'er all the earth,

Her longing eyes are blest,
Her charter of salvation

f And the great Church victorious One Lord, one faith, one birth ; dim Shall be the Church at rest. p One holy name she blesses,

5 mf Yet she on earth hath union
Partakes one holy food,

With God the Three in One,
And to one hope she presses

p And mystic sweet communion
With every grace endued.

With those whose rest is won ; 3 p Though with a scornful wonder f Oh, happy ones and holy ! Men see her sore opprest,

P Lord, give us grace that we I By schisms rent asunder,

Like them, the meek and lowly, By heresies distrest ;

cres On high may dwell with Thee.
