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
