In spite of dungeon, 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 Our fathers, chain'd in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free,
How sure will be their children's peace,
If they like them content for Thee!
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 kindly words and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death! Used With Tune: [Faith of our fathers, living still]
