265. Faith of Our Fathers
Paroles et Strophes
4 parties
Verse 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:
Verse 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!
Verse 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
Faith of our Fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death!
