Surely one of the top ten church hymns of all time--words AND tune. Millions of Christians are not learning this great music, in church or Christian radio OR Christian (or secular college.) I'll be 80 next month. I'm so thankful that my hearing is still sharp AND I have KZread. Apr. 2, 2024, St. Joseph, MO, USA

Yes indeed. We must teach our children these meaningful hymns NOW! “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.”

I agree whole heartedly with all the comments concerning the great hymns of the church. What a heritage, I wonder how many contemporary worship songs will be heard in several centuries time, As for this hymn the arrangement is absolutely brilliant, wonderfully sung and played. Thanks be to God

I totally agree. The songs today will not be sung nor played years from now

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 Tho' 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 The church shall never perish! Her dear Lord, to defend, to guide, sustain, and cherish, is with her to the end; tho' there be those that hate her and false sons in her pale, against the foe or traitor she ever shall prevail. 5 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, 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. 6 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.

Glorious truth, what a wonderful Saviour is Jesus Christ my Lord. He bought us with his own precious blood and he is coming again for us his church amen.

OH MY GOD! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Such POWER in the traditional hymns of our church. May we never forget tradition. From Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Amen.

“With his own blood her bought her...” glorious, humbling truth.

Dee he has so much great music you would be overwhelmed. For example, listen to Michael Card sing New Jerusalem. Also listen to him sing Immanuel, Behold Now The Kingdom. I think you will find that song to be beautiful. Also you may find beautiful music from the Washington National Cathedral. One song from there is I want to walk as a child of the light and King Of Glory king of peace. Also, Twila Paris sings Hold On and Meredith Andrews sings I look to the king. Now how's that for some music that will keep you entertained. If you want to talk to me my e mail address is baptistdon@ptd.net with no capital letters or spaces.

Excellent performance of a majestic arrangement of a glorious hymn. I love it; truly inspiring. Thank you Duke Chapel.

Such a powerful hymn inspired by the Holy Spirit is so moving to me even now in my mid-70's. From my childhood this music gave me a sense of the love found in the Church. I still find myself tearing up when I hear it. And in contrast, so sad, is the garbage they are singing in so many churches today.

I will definitely be pushing for our church to get this and, I too, look forward to being at the organ when this is performed. Wonderful. Thank you for posting this wonderful arrangement!

I long for the day when there is a composer better than Dan Forrest. I long for that day. But since that day is probably a long, long way off, I will continue to be blessed by each and everything he composes. He could write "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and make a masterpiece out of it!

Just absolutely breathtaking. I will not be surprised if God calls for an encore performance before his throne when we are in heaven - with the Church's One Foundation literally officiating over the performance! Glory!!

Fabulous reharmonization of the last verse. If this is just a glimpse of Heaven, I’m ready. Thanks be to God for His kindness to us in Jesus Christ!

This is the kind of great arrangement this hymn deserves..,grand and glorious!! Oh, how I miss playing this on our Rogers organ!!

Sorry I will not make many friends here. This is a lovely simple hymn by Samuel Stone - who wrote it as an affirmation of faith in response to the writings of Archbishop Colenso of Natal - with a simple, effective and pulling tune by Samual Sebastian Wesley. It does not need belting out like this. Wesley did not have a brass band and the hymn does not need this kind of treatment. It speaks for itself.

@markbryant3054

3 жыл бұрын

I suspect that many of the views of Colenso would now be seen as comparatively mainstream. My anxiety with this hymn is the assumption that what we believe is 100% guaranteed to be correct. Future generations may judge us less favourably. At the heart of it all is the Son of God who dies abandoned on a cross.

I'm so thrilled to see this, and to see that Rodney Wynkoop is still choir director and conductor. I sang with the choir many years ago and still miss the quality and discipline involved. Mr. Wynkoop remains the most incredible director with which I've ever had the honor to work.

Beautifully done.

Fantastic rendition !!!
