Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Faith of our fathers! living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword:
O, 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 prison dark
Were still in heart and conscience free!
LADIES TRIO (OPTIONAL)
How sweet would be their children's fate,
If they, like them, could die for Thee!
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!
We will be true,
We will be true!
We will be true to Thee, till death!
