Faith Of Our Fathers!

"Faith of Our Fathers" is a stirring hymn that has echoed through countless church aisles and choir lofts. The text speaks powerfully of endurance, devotion, and a faith that survives even the darkest trials of "dungeon, fire and sword." For a Nigerian Catholic choir, it is a song that naturally calls the congregation to reflect on the sacrifices of those who came before us and the deep roots of our own belief.

This particular arrangement by Ezomo John O. sets Frederick W. Faber's familiar lyrics to a straightforward, marching sol-fa melody. It is often sung as a recessional hymn or during feasts celebrating martyrs and saints, where its bold, declarative chorus—"We will be true to thee till death"—gives the whole church a moment of unified, joyful conviction.
