Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) #282 (2001) First Line: Faith of our fathers, living still Lyrics: 1 Faith of our fathers, living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith,
We will be true to thee till death!
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!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith,
We will be true to thee till death!
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! Topics: Church; Faith Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
