Faith of Our Fathers by Frederick Faber

1.     Faith of our fathers, living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword;
Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious Word!

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

2.     Faith of our fathers, we will strive
To win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We all shall then be truly free.

Both friend and foe in all our strife;
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life.
