- Faith of our fathers, living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy,
Whenever we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death. - Faith of our fathers, we will strive,
To win all nations unto thee;
And through the truth that comes from God,
We all shall then be truly free.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death. - 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.
