| Scivias II.3: The Church & Christ. Rupertsberg MS, fol. 51r. |
| 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. |
1. Fundamentum Ecclesiae solum est Christus eius Dominus, quam novam creaturam facit per aquam atque Verbum, de caelo veniens et eam requirens quam sanctam sibi desponsavit et suo sanguine redemit, cui vitam morte dedit. |
