1
Faith of our fathers! living still In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword; O how our hearts beat high with joy When'er we hear that glorious word.
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! 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.
C

Chorus

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