HYMN Lyrics Text: Faith Of Our Fathers
1. Faith of our fathers, living still
in spite of dungeon fire and sword
O how our hearts beat high
with joy!
when e’er we hear
that glorious word.
Faith of our fathers, Holy faith.
We will be true to thee
till death. (2)
2. Our fathers,
chained in prisons dark
were still in heart
and conscience free
How sweet would be
their children’s fate
if they like them
could die for Thee!
3. Faith of our fathers,
Mary’s prayers
shall win our country
back to Thee.
And through the truth
that comes from God,
Our land shall then indeed
be free.
4. Faith of our fathers,
we will love
both friend and foe
in all our strife.
And preach thee too.
as love knows how
by kindly words and virtuous life
