Love that hymn and foundations! Things that are not visible yet something is resting on that-- there's alot there. I'm a big fan of etymology and word origins. They really convey that foundation. Seems why the culture is intent on changing, hiding and confusing word meanings and origins. Thanks Baldmichael!
No is the short answer, at least I do not recall it. Do you have a reference please? I tried a quick internet search but couldn't find it although some indication that it isn't actually certain what he did say.
I was a building surveyor so have a little experience of underpinning! A neighbour virtually had his chalet bungalow rebuilt and had underpinning works done. It would have been cheaper to demolish and rebuild I think.
It's at the end of "Saints of England's Golden Age", compiled by Vladimir Moss and published by the Center for Traditionalist Orthodox Studies, ISBN 0-911165-27-4, 1997. Orthodox hagiography -- that before the invention of printing, anyway -- shares with all other ancient historical accounts in the composition of fictional rhetorical speeches. The one attributed to St. Edward the Confessor, the last king of England before Harold, is hauntingly profound.
You might look up the "desecration of the Glastonbury Thorn (or Hawthorne) in 2010" for some intriguingly suggestive clues -- they were, for me, anyway.
And if you can't find Vladimir Moss's book, you might ask Fr. Andrew of St. John the Wonderworker in Felixtowe about it. And may you have the pleasure of meeting him -- it is unlikely that I will meet either of you myself.
And if you reely, reely, reely can't find it, I'll recount it for you, as I've practically memorized it.
Same words in My hope is built on nothing less Pastor Smith at Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa used to sing. Thanks Baldmichael very interesting

Have you seen the deathbed confession of St. Edward the Confessor? It was spoken just prior to the reign of King Harold.

Your post is timely. I've just read it while taking a break from crawling underneath my house fixing the foundation...
Let me assure you foundations can be changed and replaced. It isnt much fun, but it can be done.
How "Christ" is defined can also change. That is the nature of language and culture.
"Foundations" require as much maintenance as any other part of a building. The Church is no different.
