History of Christian Hymnody Volume 14
Since the publication of Samuel John Stone’s “The Church’s One Foundation” in 1866, this hymn has maintained its high level of acceptance among Protestant congregations through to the present age. Although based upon specific issues relative to problems besetting the Church of England in the mid-nineteenth century, the hymn has transcended its history and has proven applicable and acceptable to and for those worshipers committed to the Christian Church and anchored firmly to its Biblical origin and its spiritual traditions.
