My Song

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 ever we hear that glorious word.

Refrain

Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.

2.

Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,

Were still in heart and conscience free;

And truly blest would be our fate,

If we, like them, should die for thee.

3.

Our mothers, too, oppressed and wronged,

Still lived their faith with dignity;

Their brave example gives us strength

To work for justice ceaselessly.

4.

Faith of our fathers, faith and prayer

Shall win all nations unto thee;

And through the truth that comes from God,

We all shall then indeed be free.

5.

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 deeds and virtuous life.
