Faith of Our Fathers
Words: Frederick William Faber · Music: ST. CATHERINE, Henri F. Hemy, adapted by James G. Walton
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!
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.
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.
