Stanza 1
Faith of our fathers, living still
in spite of dungeon, fire, and sword;
oh, how our hearts beat high with joy
whene'er we hear that glorious word!
Stanza 2
Faith of our fathers, holy faith,
we will be true to thee till death.
Stanza 3
Our fathers, chained in prisons dark
were still in heart and conscience free,
and bless'd would be their children's fate
if they, like them, should die for thee!
Stanza 4
Faith of our fathers, we will love
both friend and foe in all our strife,
and preach thee, too, as love knows how,
by saving word and faithful life!
