Faith of Our Fathers, Living Still

177

(ST. CATHERINE. L. M. With Refrain)

Frederick W. Faber, 1849

Henry F. Hemy and J. G. Walton, 1874

1. Faith of our fathers, living still
   In spite of dungeon, fire and sword,
   O How our heart beat high with joy
   Whene'er we hear that glorious word!
   Refrain
   Faith of our fathers, holy faith,
   We will be true to thee till death. (Last verse: Amen.)
   
2. Faith of our fathers, we will strive
   To win all nations unto thee;
   And through the truth that comes from God
   Mankind shall then indeed be free.
   Refrain
   
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.
   Refrain
