Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #464 (1941) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Ephesians 4:3 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear,
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When here our pathways part,
We suffer bitter pain;
Yet, one in Christ and one in heart,
We hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way,
While each in expectation lives
And longs to see the day.
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin we shall be free
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
Amen. Topics: The Church Communion of Saints Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLSTON

1 Béni soit le lien
qui nous unit en Christ,
le saint amour, l'amour divin
que verse en nous l'Esprit!
2 Au ciel, vers notre Dieu,
avec joie et ferveur,
s'élèvent nos chants et nos vœux,
parfum doux au Seigneur.
3 Nous mettons en commun
nos fardeaux, nos labeurs;
en Jésus nous ne sommes qu'un
dans la joie et les pleurs!
4 Si nous devons bientôt
quitter ces lieux bénis,
nous nous retrouverons là-haut,
pour toujours réunis.

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #77 (1980) Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-5 Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and 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 one o’er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed;
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid 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 the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth hath union
With God, the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.
Amen.

Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and 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 one o’er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed;
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid 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 the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth hath union
With God, the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.

1 Un solo fundamento
y un sólo un fundador
la santa iglesia tiene
en Cristo, su Señor.
Haciéndola su esposa,
del cielo descendió,
y por su propia sangre
su libertad compró.
2 Aunque es de muchas razas,
disfruta de unidad:
sólo una fe confiesa
en santa caridad;
es uno su bautismo,
un pan de santidad;
por gracia siempre espera
una felicidad.
3 El mundo la contempla
pasmado y con desdén:
de cismas desgarrada,
de error y por vaivén.
Mas *santos de vigilia
no cesan en su orar,
y pronto por la noche
oirán gozo y cantar.
4 Cercada de tumultos,
de guerra y confusión,
la paz eterna espera,
serena en su visión;
al fin, ya victoriosa,
la iglesia terrenal
recibe como premio
descanso celestial.
5 Mas ella aquí disfruta
celeste comunión
con Dios y con los santos
en paz y perfección.
Jesús, cabeza nuestra,
concéde por tu amor
que siempre contemplemos
tu rostro, Redentor.

1 L’église universelle
a pour roc Jésus-Christ;
elle est l’oeuvre nouvelle
que sa parole fit.
Habitant le ciel même,
il vint se l’attacher,
et, par un don suprême,
mourut pour la sauver!
2 L’église en sa prière
unit à leur Sauveur
les peuples de la terre,
soumis au seul Seigneur.
C’est son nom qu’elle acclame,
son pain qui la nourrit;
elle verse à toute âme
l’espoir qui la guérit.
3 Honnie et méconnue,
menant de durs combats,
elle attend la venue
de la paix ici-bas.
Contemplant par avance
la fin de son tourment,
la grande délivrance,
le repos permanent.
4 Aujourd’hui, sur la terre,
elle est unie à Dieu,
et, par un saint mystère,
aux élus du saint lieu.
Rends-nous, comme eux, fidèles,
et reçois-nous, Seigneur,
dans la vie éternelle,
dans l’éternel bonheur!

1 Az egyháznak a Jézus a fundámentoma,
A szent Ígére épült fel lelki temploma.
Leszállt a mennyből hívni és eljegyezni őt,
Megváltva drága vérén a váltságban hívőt.
2 Kihívott minden népből egy lelki népet itt,
Kit egy Úr, egy keresztség és egy hit egyesít.
Csak egy nevet magasztal, csak egy cél vonja őt,
és egy terített asztal ád néki új erőt.
3 A világ fejedelme feltámad ellene,
Vagy hamis tudománytól gyaláztatik neve,
S míg egykor felderül majd az Úrnak hajnala,
Csak virrasztói kérdik: Meddig az éjszaka?
4 Sok bajban, küzdelemben meghajszolt, megvetett,
De szent megújulásért és békéért eped,
Míg látomása egykor dicsőn beteljesül,
S a győzedelmes egyház Urával egyesül.
5 A három-egy Istennel már itt e földön egy,
S az üdvözült sereggel egy nép és egy sereg.
Ó mily áldott reménység: Ha itt időnk lejár,
Te boldog szenteiddel fenn Nálad béke vár!

she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore;
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth hath union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee.

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #511 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-24 Lyrics: 1 The church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and 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 ev'ry nation,
yet one o’er all the earth,
her charter of salvation:
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses
with ev'ry grace endued.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore;
till with the vision glorious
longing eyes are blessed,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
4 Yet she on earth has union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O blessed heav'nly chorus!
Lord, save us by your grace
that we, like saints before us,
may see you face to face. Topics: Nature of the Church; Church--Anniversary; Church--Foundation and nature; Church--Militant; Church--Triumphant; Church--Unity Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA
