Faith of Our Fathers
words by Frederick W. Faber, music by Henri F. Hemy

Verse 1:

G                     C      G
Faith of our fathers, living still

C           G        A         D
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword,

G                     C         G
O how our hearts beat high with joy

C           G         D        G
Whene'er we hear that glorious word!


Chorus:

C            G        D    G
Faith of our fathers, holy faith,

           C       D         G
We will be true to thee 'til death.


Verse 2:

Faith of our fathers, God's great power
Shall win all nations unto thee,
And through the truth that comes from God
Mankind shall then indeed be free.


Verse 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.
