FAITH OF OUR FATHERS

The faith of our fathers is still alive

Surviving dungeon fire and sword

O how our hearts beat high with joy

Whenever we hear that glorious word of God

Faith of our fathers holy faith

Faith of the martyrs

We will be true to you till death

Our brothers now are chained in prisons dark

Yet still in heart and conscience they are free

How sweet will be their children's fate

If they like them will choose to live and die for Thee

Faith of our fathers holy faith

Faith of the martyrs

We will be true to you till death

Faith of the martyrs

We will be true to you till death

Faith for our children we will choose to love

Both friend and foe for all our lives

And live for God as only love knows how

By kindly words and by our holy lives

Faith for our children lasting faith

Life sent from heaven

We will be true to you

Faith of our brothers living faith

Hope of our sisters

We will be true to you

Faith of our mothers loving faith

Faith of our fathers

We will be true to you

We will be true to you

We will be true to you to death
