(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
Faith of our fathers, living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword —
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious word!
CHORUS
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;
How sweet would be their children’s fate
If they, like them, could die for thee!
CHORUS
3
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.
CHORUS
