Author: B. T. Tanner 1835-1815 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #583 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: We are the children of the church Refrain First Line: Our fathers' church, our mothers' church Lyrics: 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]

We Are The Children Of The Church
Author: Benjamin T. Tanner Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12043 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Refrain First Line: Our fathers’ church—our mothers’ church— Lyrics: 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]
4 And stirred it is by lofty aims,
Of love toward man and God,
And will be till the world accepts
Messiah’s staff and rod. [Refrain]
5 How glorious then, this heritage,
Burdened with storied wealth,
Enriching us and all mankind
With life, and peace, and health. [Refrain]
6 As gathered on the Children’s Day
We at its altars vow,
To mark its bulwarks, tell its towers,
And hold our place as now. [Refrain]
