By Frederick William Faber

      Verse 1
      Faith of our fathers living still,
      In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword,
      Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy,
      When e'er we hear that glorious word,
      Faith of our fathers, holy faith,
      We will be true to thee till death.

      Verse 2
      Faith of our fathers! We will strive
      To win all nations unto Thee
      And through the truth that comes from God
      Mankind shall then be truly free;
      Faith of our fathers, holy faith,
      We will be true to thee till death.

      Verse 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;
      Faith of our fathers, holy faith,
      We will be true to thee till death.
