Here is a great song with a little tweaking from Terry

1 The church’s one foundation

is Jesus Christ, her Lord;

she is his new creation

by water and the word.

Through him God 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 for all the earth;

her charter of salvation:

to live God’s reign on earth

One holy name she blesses

Partake one holy food,

and to one hope she presses

with ev’ry grace endued.

3 Though with a scornful wonder

this world* sees her 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 Through toil and tribulation

and domination’s wars

she waits the consummation

of peace forevermore;

till with the vision glorious

her longing eyes are blest,

When peace shall be victorious

And all earth shall be blessed

5 Yet she on earth has union

with God, the Three in One,

and mystic sweet communion

with those whose rest is won.

Until earth’s re-created

Lord, save us by your grace,

that we, like saints before us,

reflect your loving face

Text: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900

Revised: Terry Kyllo, 1964 –

In this context, the word “word” refers to a worldview of domination and not the creation or its people
