Текст песни Оригинал - Христос - основа Церкви

Christ is the foundation of the Church,
Only in him does she stand
His immortal Word
She is reborn;
He sought her from heaven
She suffered for her life,
Washed His Blood
And called for holiness.

Scattered everywhere
But held together by the Spirit,
Single Bread over
She is fed.
One holy Name
Unites our hearts
In one hope
We endure to the end.

In the midst of sorrow and languor
And the battle with sin
Waiting for the Church of the Offensive
Rest with Christ.
When visions of glory
See her eyes
And the triumph of victory
Come forever!

And here she is in communication
With the Father and with Christ
And embraced by the cloud
Witnesses around.
// Great is their bliss!
Oh give, Lord, and to us,
Like them in humility
Strive to heaven! //
