Samuel S. Wesley

ad

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.

3 Though 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 '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.

5 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.
Samuel J. Stone
