Tune: Aurelia
('The church's one foundation')
1 Corinthians 1 v.26-31
***********
For here, do see your calling
The lord works through each thing
You see how not many wise
In worldly ways comprise
Those who are called, nor many
Who are noble, mighty
But God has chosen they who
Foolish by world are viewed
This to confound worldly-wise
Who proud in their own eyes
And He has chosen weak things
Of the world, to shame things
Which are mighty in world's sight
But they not follow right[eousness]
He brings to nothing what be
Seen by world as worthy
'Tis so that no humans boast
In His presence from coast
To coast, but in Him glory
His Son our wisdom be
And too He our righteousness
Sanctification, yes
And our redemption, praise we
God all for his glory
