THE CHURCH.

THE CHURCH'S ONE FOUNDATION.
"Aurelia." 7s. & 6s. D.

REV. SAMUEL JOHN STONE, (1839- ) 1866.

He, Whose word can- not be bro-ken, Formed thee for His own a-bode:
Well sup-ply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want re-move:
For a glo- ry and a covering, Show-ing that the Lord is near:

On the Rock of Ages found-ed, What can shake thy sure re-pose? Who can faint, while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Thus de-ri-ving from their ban-ner, Light by night, and shade by day,

With sal-vation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. Grace, which like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray. Amen.

4 O blest communion! fellowship Divine!

We feebly struggle; they in glory shine!

Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia!

5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,

Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song,

And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong! Alleluia !

6 The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon, to faithful warriors cometh rest;
Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest.

Alleluia!

7 But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of Glory passes on His way! Alleluia !
