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! we will strive
to win all nations unto thee,
and through the truth that comes from God,
we all shall then be truly 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 words and virtuous life: [Refrain]
