412. Faith of our fathers! Living still

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! Faith and praise
shall win all nations unto thee:
and through the truth that comes from God,
Mankind shall then indeed be 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 deeds and virtuous life. [Refrain]
