From Dheaven he cGame Dand Bmsought hDer

[Verse 1]

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.

[Verse 2]

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.

[Verse 3]

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.

[Verse 4]

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.
