1 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 that glorious word!
Refrain:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee ‘til death!
2 Faith of our fathers! We will strive
To win all nations unto thee,
And thro’ the truth that comes from God,
Mankind shall then be truly 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]
