189. Faith Of Our Fathers

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 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! [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]
