Tune: | ST. CATHERINE |
Composer: | Henri Frederick Hemy, 1818-1888 |
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 Our fathers, chained in prison dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free:
How sweet would be their children's fate,
If they, like them, could die for thee! [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]
