The Church's One Foundation (Dan Forrest) - Premiere at Duke Chapel

[@warrenwilson4818]

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 KZbin. Apr. 2, 2024, St. Joseph, MO, USA

[@e.conboy4286]

86+ here! Like you, I appreciate my blessing of hearing and sight. Praise God from whom ALL blessings FLOW!

[@DavidFoerster]

Yes beautiful

[@elainehutzelman537]

One of my favorites as well and I'm 79.

[@elsemorris906]

Indeed, I agree with you on every point. I grieve the loss of this amazing music from our churches. What has taken is place is difficult to even consider 'music." (Oh, and belated happy 80th birthday!)

[@UncleDan-dn6zx]

We sing it at our Catholic Church in Norton VA. It truly is beautiful how we share such wonderful hymns. May God Bless You!

[@charleslayton9463]

oh-----the angels paused their singing to listen to this. And then they joined in. The church triumphant sang along. oh.....

[@harrietb.arrasmith4965]

I always enjoy these wonderful hymns that are our Christian music heritage. They are ageless.

[@briananthony3676]

GOD, certainly, delights in having HIS Word sung, in praise, back to HIM. Moses "reminded" GOD of HIS Word. ❤

[@peterhamlett4544]

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

[@Dineen-i4z]

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

[@garythorington1600]

[@CustCareRep]

Those who seek the one true Faith, should embrace the Faith with the best hymns, like this one.

[@e.conboy4286]

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

This is especially moving and emotional for me as it was in the beautiful soaring chapel at Duke that my parents finally watched their long-errant and prodigal son receive his degree of Doctor of Medicine.

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.

I was married here, in this exact spot (the choir chancel) in 1970, in an all Bach wedding put together by my husband-to-be. This brings back incredible memories, and the music is so comforting in this time of uncertainty and fear.

[@donmayer58]

Louise, my name is Donald Mayer and I live in Coplay, Pennsylvania. I'm 62 years old and have been blind since birth. I hope you are still happily married after all these years. My wife and I were married 28 years. My wife passed away on December 3, 2016. Louise, this is a beautiful hymn. My mother was a church organist for many years. Have you ever listened to organ music and hymns from Washington National Cathedral? Louise, that music is so awesome you would not believe it. Louise, have a great day!

[@deewayland2246]

Don Mayer so sorry for your loss. Have you heard Justin Kauflin play piano? He’s blind, has a KZbin channel and is coached by Quincy Jones. His brother is a priest and Justin is Christian. Do you know about Eric Whitacre Virtual Choir6 called Sing Gently? Check it out too. God bless.

[@donmayer58]

@@deewayland2246 Well hello there. Dee, that was a very nice reply. You made some great musical suggestions. Well Dee, I've got some for you. Have you ever heard Michael card sing? 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 [e-mail] with no capital letters or spaces. I really hope you enjoy the music I mentioned. Dee, thank you so much for your reply. You are very nice!!!

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.

[@pennyulsenberg5931]

I agree. Rock crap doesnt quite cut it in the spiritual realm.

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!

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 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 The church shall never perish! Her dear Lord to defend, to guide, sustain, and cherish, is with her to the end; though there be those that hate her, and false sons in her pale, against both foe and traitor she ever shall prevail. 5 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore; 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 the 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. Author: S. J. Stone
