Sunday's Hymn: Faith of Our Fathers

 

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 God’s glorious Word:

Refrain
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.


Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free;
And blest would be their children’s fate
If they, like them, should die for thee:

Faith of our fathers! God’s great pow’r
Shall draw all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God
His people shall indeed be free:

Faith of our fathers! we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee, too, as love knows how
By witness true and virtuous life:

—Frederick W. Fa­ber
