Text marked as lyrics
3 Though with a scornful wonder we see her sore oppressed, by schisms the 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. 1 The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation, by water and the word: from heaven 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.
