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) 2. Faith of our fathers! we will strive To win all nations unto thee; And thro' the truth that comes from God, Mankind shall then be truly free: (Refrain) 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: (Refrain) Refrain: Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to thee till death.
