287. Faith of the Larger Liberty

1 Faith of the larger liberty,
source of the light expanding,
law of the church that is to be,
old bondage notwithstanding:
faith of the free! By thee we live —
by all thou givest and shalt give
our loyalty commanding.

2 Heroes of faith in every age,
far-seeing, self-denying,
wrought an increasing heritage,
monarch and creed defying.
Faith of the free! In thy dear name
the costly heritage we claim:
their living and their dying.

3 Faith for the people everywhere,
whatever their oppression,
of all who make the world more fair,
living their faith’s confession:
faith of the free! Whate’er our plight,
thy law, thy liberty, thy light
shall be our blest possession.
