FAITH OF OUR FATHERS
Verse 1
Faith of our father living still
In spite of dongeon 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
Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free,
How sweet would be their children's fate,
If they like them, could die for thee!
Verse 3
Faith of our fathers, Mary's prayers
Shall win our country back to thee;
And through the truth that comes from God
This land shall then indeed be free.
Verse 4
Faith of our fathers, we will love
Both friends and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee too as love knows how,
By kindly words and virtous life.
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
Verse 1
Fight the good fight with all thy might.
Christ is thy strength and Christ thy right;
Lay hold on life and it shall be,
Thy joy and crown etternally.
Verse 2
Run the straight race through God's good grace
Lift up thine eyes and seek His face;
Life with its way before us lies,
Chris is the path and Christ the prize.
Verse 3
Cast care aside, lean on thy Guide,
His boundless mercy will provide;
Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life and Christ its love.
Verse 4
Faint not nor fear His arms are near,
He changeth not and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.
