#558. Faith of Our Fathers
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 till death.

2) Faith of our fathers! faith and prayer
    Shall 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 deeds and virtuous life.  (Refrain)
