Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #227 (1930) Lyrics: 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!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death.
2 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, holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death.
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:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death.
