1. Faith of our fathers living still
In spite of dun-geon, fire and sword:
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene'er we hear that glorious word!
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 thro' the truth that comes from God
Mankind shall then indeed be free
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
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 kind-ly words and virtuous life:
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death! Amen
236 a FAITH OF OUR MOTHERS
1 Faith of our Mothers, living yet
In cradle song and bedtime pray'r,
In nurs'ry love and fire side love,
Thy presence still pervades the air:
Faith of our Mothers, living faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
2. Faith of our Mothers, lavish faith
The fount of childhood's trust and grace,
O may thy consecration prove
The well-spring of a noble race:
Faith of our Mothers, lavish faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
3. Faith of our Mothers, guiding faith,
For youthful longing, youthful doubt,
How blurred our vision, blind our way,
Thy providential care without:
Faith of our Mothers, guiding faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
