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, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free:
And truly blest would be our fate,
If we, like them, should die for thee.
Faith of the martyrs, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
3 Faith of our fathers! faith and pray'r
Shall win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We shall all then indeed be free.
Faith of our mothers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
4 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.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death. Topics: Church; Comfort; Commitment; Courage; Faith; Joy; Saints; Suffering; Trust; Unity; Witness; World Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE

Jerusalem, my happy home
Author: F. B. P. Hymnal: Common Praise #481 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Hebrews 11:14-16 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
name ever dear to me,
when shall my labours have an end,
thy joys when shall I see?
2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls
and pearly gates behold,
thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
and streets of shining gold?
3 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there
around my Saviour stand;
and all I love in Christ below
will join the glorious band.
4 Jerusalem, my happy home,
when shall I come to thee?
When shall my labours have an end,
thy joys when shall I see?
5 O Christ, do thou my soul prepare
for that bright home of love;
that I may see thee and adore,
with all thy saints above. Topics: Proper 14 Year C Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL (IRONS)

Most glorious to behold;
Thy walls are all of precious stone,
Most glorious to behold;
Thy gates are richly set with pearl,
Thy streets are paved with gold,
Thy gates are richly set with pearl,
Thy streets are paved with gold.
3 Thy gardens and thy pleasant walks
My study long have been;
Thy gardens and thy pleasant walks
My study long have been;
Such dazzling views by human sight
Have never yet been seen,
Such dazzling views by human sight
Have never yet been seen.
4 If heaven be thus so, glorious Lord,
Why should I stay from thence?

What folly's this that I should dread
To die and go from hence?

And sabbaths never end.

And all my brethren here below,
Will soon come after me.
7 My friends, I bid you all adieu,
I leave you in God's care;
My friends, I bid you all adieu,
I leave you in God's care;
And if I nevermore see you,
Go on, I'll meet you there,
And if I nevermore see you,
Go on, I'll meet you there.

Rise, my Soul
Rise, My Soul, and Stretch Thy Wings
Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: The Hymnbook #330 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven, thy destined place.
Sun and moon and stars decay,
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source:
So my soul, derived from God,
Longs to view His glorious face,
Forward tends to His abode,
To rest in His embrace.
3 Cease, my soul, then, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize;
Soon the Saviour will return
Triumphant in the skies:
Yet a season, and we know
Happy entrance will be given,
All our sorrows left below,
And earth exchanged for heaven.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; Hope; Perseverance; Life in Christ Hope and Aspiration Tune Title: AMSTERDAM
