Author: | B. T. Tanner 1835-1815 |
Tune: | OUR FATHER'S CHURCH |
Composer: | L. J. Coppin, 1848-1924 |
1 We are the children of the church,
Our mothers reared by prayer,
The church our fathers fortified,
By faith and manly care.
Refrain:
Our fathers' church, our mothers' church,
Is just the church for me
Our fathers' church, our mothers' church,
Mine evermore shall be.
2 Strong are its massive gates and wide,
Its walls a-towering pile;
Alike impregnable to all
Who would its courts defile. [Refrain]
3 Numerous its people as the stars,
As pledged in days of old;
And will be as the countless sand,
A number yet untold. [Refrain]
