¶Lyrics / Text

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: (Refrain:) Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death. Faith of our fathers! faith and prayer shall win all nations unto thee; and through the truth that comes from God, mankind shall then indeed be free. (Refrain) 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. (Refrain)
